about this and now i think people are going to be upset with him and maybe might be upset with adam silver or rob man fred if the leagues don't step up and do the right thing. >> yeah, and i think that's what everybody is trying to do at this point. be safe rather than sorry as for rudy gobert. it wasn't very long ago that things didn't seem as serious as they are now. i'm sure when he did it at the time he had no idea what the ramifications were unfortunately, but i think you're right, he may be somebody that's scapegoated because of this but the more important thing is that from these moments on, the league's trying to do the best thing in a way to contain what's going on. >> so mark cuban yesterday said something that is saying what we all feel, this is bigger than basketball and bigger than sports. do you think the leagues now are going to take that into account. do you think refunds for people with tickets will happen from the sports league? >> as far as the nba goes, they'll got to figure out what they're going to do this year but temporarily suspending the year, they give themselves

adam silver made a statement tonight that gives you a little bit of an idea of the timeline that nba.>> two sort of full board meetings that i had yesterday and today, not one team raised money. the entire discussion was about safety and health of the players, the community around the nba and our fans. what we determined today is that this hiatus will be most likely, at least 30 days.>> speaking of money, how about kevin love pledging $100,000, you see him pictured here, with the quicken loan arena workers to help out the cleveland franchise. $100,000, and i guess you can say with the league down for at least 30 days, you can hope that maybe some other players, these guys are highly compensated, that kevin love will start a trend and take care of the people who don't make millions of dollars and are going to basically be out of work for a long time. speaking of, you've got to feel for, how about the collegiate athletes across the board, men and women sports you will never get the chance. pro leagues are suspended, they will continue at some point. we don't know when, but it is over f

through hatch tlf the summer, t league should start later and end later, something commissioner adam silversidering. i'm not trying to say it was imminent in any way but is something that intrigued people in the nba community and now is on the verge of potentially happening assuming that a season is able to be resumed. unfortunately, you have to get through this crisis first. it's ravaged the sports world. there's no denying that. speaking to owners throughout the league on several occasions as well as executives they have not given up hope that indeed there will be an nba season. they still obviously consider it a 50/50 proposition. in the end if you are somehow, some way able to restart the season or continue in late may or early june, who knows, you could go into summer, have playoffs in july, have a season where the champion is established or crowned by the beginning or middle of august. all of those possibilities are still out there. it's not necessarily pie in the sky although it might seem that way at this time. there are a lot of people holding out hope. of course as commissioner si

i wonder what you're seeing atting rockets games or around the league what is adam silver saying aboutther individual teams should play in front of empty arenas or whether the league will do that league wide. bring us up to date there. >> the only no show was us last night against the clippers and rockets that was played in houston but our fans were all there and like i said, a lower no show rate than usual. which i like to see because then we're not panicking and a we shouldn't. i don't think you should play games in front of no audience. i would hope we would suspend for a week or two. but you don't want to play games with no fans that's never going to work like i said, everybody just needs to be a little better. we're doing a few different things that we've never done before of course in our kai issy knows and rest raubt raunts and hotels, but everybody needs to wash their hands and stay away from people that are sick and if you're sick, you shouldn't go to work but y'all have been hearing this from everybody for weeks now so i don't need to repeat it. >> quickly i was going to say

dealt with in the nba, the nba has always had a way of dealing with these situations and i thought adam silverefinitely made the right call in pushing the pause button and making sure that we had all the right information and once you get all the right information, then you can start to, you know, put the information out but use the platform the sport has in form of informing the audience and helping to inform the audience about what's going on with the virus in terms of testing, social distancing and so forth and so on. >> this obviously, basketball, any of these sports leagues, huge business. what you see going on the field or the court is just the tip of the iceberg. the players aren't going to be playing but i mean, for instance, when it comes to basketball, ushers, arena workers, concession stand workers, parking lot attendants, cleaning crews. we've heard of some folks donating money. kevin love announced for those who aren't able to work and the cabs pay arena workers as if they are still working, even though they can't. do you think other teams need to do that? >> i think other teams w

listen, adam silver, we can say. >> bill: nba commissioner. >> he did the right thing.o question about that. but to say that college athletics did the wrong thing, the reason there is a wrong thing is that there is no one voice. college athletics is a consortium of six power conferences that are governed by commissioners of those respective leagues that, bill, have only their constituencies to concern themselves with. there is no 30,000-foot view from the outside. and i have contended for a very long time with the billions and billions of dollars we are talking about, and with the athletes that they are still having issues with images and likeness over, we need someone to take a look with purview from outside the myopic world of intercollegiate athletics what's going on in omaha, nebraska doesn't fly in new york. what's going on in race seen, wisconsin doesn't work in pasadena, california. college athletics needs a czar, someone to turn to that can be in consultation with these commissioners, reasonably intelligent people should be able to get on a telephone, days befor

you have to understand that wednesday evening the world changed when adam silver decided to suspend the nba season. the next day did the show, scott, with the s&p basically where it is now. if you're going to sell the s&p and the the dow jones, you'll go down 2,000 points in day, i'm a buyer. i'm always going to buy down 2,000 points because of the optimism that year from now stocks are going to be higher. i think you have to accept this will be a process. i began to say before, you have to realize you're not looking for the bottom, as i heard josh say at the top of the show you have to realize you're assuming far more risk in this environment. that's what credit and equity assets are pricing if you're going to be an investor, you're assuming more risk on the other side of that, for the assumption of more risk you're beginning to see more reward i think this is a process. i think you have to be realistic and understand and accept as an investor if you're going to mark things down significantly in the course of one day, i'm a buyer i was a buyer when it was down 2,000. i bought this morn

can you help walk us through what you know about commissioner adam silver's thinking in making this decision overnight? a lot of players are tweeting they respect the call. do you know what went into this and how he made the final decision? >> well, i think he just did it in the best interest of the game. you guys just showed rudy gobert, what he's been, who he played against the last two weeks. he's been in several states, he played the toronto raptors and they could have taken that virus back to canada. i mean, thank goodness he was going to play in the game last night. i don't know how long he had this thing, but they have could have care trried it back to tor and he played in five different states in the last week. this is a really skacary thing d nobody knows. i commend the commissioner for suspending the season. the first thing we should do, even with march madness, i love working for turner and cbs, we have to take a step and look at march madness. even though they won't have fans in the stands, i don't want players breathing on each other for next month. i think the ncaa and the nba

overreacted including canceling games and all kinds of things in the mba -- i'm a great fan of adam silver but the initial response was not strong enough. eventually the mba came and said we support the rights of our people to say what they wish to say. i probably would've said to the chinese, maybe quietly, you're always telling us not to interfere in your internal affairs, telling an american what to say is interfering in our internal affairs, americans get to say what they wish and i actually thought the mba was in a stronger position than they realize. because, the mba is wildly popular in china. and it is not just ja the great chinese player, they love the sport in china. if the chinese threatened to take the mba off the air, i would say be my guest. let's see how long before all those only child prints liens are satisfied watching the chinese national team. i think the mba was in a stronger position and sometimes you have to force the issue. >> don't be so diplomatic.

adam silver, a terrific leader, commissioner of the nba said we have to start and suspended the sporteverything seemed to follow after that. we were in florida covering the players championship. one of the biggest final rounds of the year. they had spectators there thursday. it was interesting. it speaks to the spread. in that part of northeast florida, there wasn't as much concern as in other places like seattle or the bay area or new york. once it started to become obvious this was affecting everyone, they decided no fans for the rest of the weekend and shut down the sport for the month. >> i can understand basketball. a super physical sport. you see the players hitting each oth other. i get that. golf? why would they have suspended that sport? couldn't you have done golf without fans on the sidelines? >> that was the initial thought. think about it. there were 144 competitors. each has a caddie. it's 244 folk88 folks. all have families. the players have dieticians, nutritioners, trainers. you have hundreds of people out there to televise the events. volunteers to make sure the logi

there's some nba ownership that are going to pay some of their employees now while adam silver reevaluatesu'll see is those who can will help the ones who can't. so it's great to see these guys -- we often criticize these athletes for a host of things, but their generosity and giving back is enormous particularly throughout the nba with the cares practice, stay in school -- arthel: there's a lot of good work athletes do, and just to be clear definitely not on my part, i was not criticizing those players had access to the test. the question was only pose because there are many americans who don't play basketball or who are not rush and famous, and they're having trouble getting access -- >> i understand that. and i i understand it wasn't you. arthel: okay. >> but those people should understand if somebody has the virus and they got tested and they tested pod, there shouldn't be any -- arthel: jim gray, you and i -- >> the virus does not discriminate. poor, rich, black, white, american, russian are, chinese, if you get the virus -- arthel: you're right. i gotta go. we're cool, you and i. bac

ways of doing things one of them is we go out, we shop, we go to games i think of that moment when adam silver canceled the nba. i want normalcy like you do. normalcy means we go to a game and we're happy to see each other. david, i just don't -- i don't know if it will go back to that any time soon. that's something that ben bernanke did not address >> no, he did discuss what is a much stronger financial system, of course. not saying it is not going to be leaned on heavily. to your point, was fairly positive at least in terms of all the things that occurred over the last 11 years, particularly those years that followed the financial crisis to bolster many of the big banks and their balance sheets >> david, watch zoom >> watch zoom? what about the airlines? shouldn't i watch those, too you have united up, delta -- all the airlines are up. >> we did get an upgrade of southwest, which is incredibly well run i was debating the other day with my daughter on whether to come home from spain, try to make a run for it somehow, escape from new york -- escape from spain to escape from new york i'm not s

or like them, i know the president did pull together this coalition probably in the time since adam silvernded the nba season, which is probably the most seminole event that's happened in the united states to keep focused but yes, these are a lot of my ideas and if i had any movement in this stuff, i'm thrilled. what it's really about the is partnership and it's a big deal because it's real. these are not joker ceos who went up there for a handshake which you weren't going to get any way. i read the commentary. everyone's very cynical about this i'm not cynical about brian cornell. doug mcmillan. i'm not going to be cynical about cvs. these are real companies and they want to do something about this these aren't a bunch of bure rats who say we want to do something. this is really fire power. it did cause a short squeeze this could probably be given up u when dr. fauci gives bad news next week, but at least there's movement >> we were watching the markets retreating when the president first spoke then ended the day in terms of percentage gains if you haven't seen that, since late 2008 when

. >> trace: you mention the nba and the nba commissioner adam silver, he knows that spending the seasonvery costly for a lot of people. he also thinks that this might save lives. listen to him and allocate your response. >> i recognize when we went off the air last wednesday night, it was a larger decision than just the nba. it got a lot of people's attention and i think for those people and may be young people in particular who are a large part of our audience, who frankly weren't taking all that seriously the recommendations in terms of what the appropriate protocols were, wow. >> trace: the kids were looking up to the nba players thinking maybe we should take this more seriously. it's a good example. >> with the nba, that's what the nba is known more for. the late david stern brought the nba to everybody. nba represents basketball. when you see nfl and the old dogs, the nba is leading the way. the players are front and center. for example, every day since the shutdown has occurred, nba players, you can find them playing video games and twitch. i'm having meetings with clients playing

adam silver, the nba commissioner, rudy, the player who was the biggest guy, said that we had to create a shutdown and i come back and i say i'm told without a doubt there will be things from the treasury secretary this morning that will answer a lot of what we're talking about. obviously these problems are too big for the private sector we heard from chuck, chuck robbins. it has to be from treasury, it has to be from the president and within the next 24 hours >> well, our eyes will be peeled, jim. dow is hanging on to an 18-point gain good morning, bob. >> bouncing between positive and negative boeing is a problem, down about 9% about 80 points on the dowment let's look at the sectors now here consumer staples have been up all morning. defensive tone banks were up, now down. health care has been up all morning. energy has been flat you can see the banks deteriorating a bit. the dow movers, boeing not here, but boeing down about 9% do you dow bouncing banks fractionally up. mcdonald's, they've been announcing that a large part of their restaurants are doing drive-thru delivery and take-

well, nba commissioner adam silver giving millions of basketball fans a little hope during the pandemicime line for the season to resume, one option may be some type of charity competition. no details given on what that might look like. up to 55,000 nba workers have been sidelined by the hiatus. as we have talked about, americans are trying to find a silver lining in the pandemic. why not silver christmas decorations? there is a viral movement on twitter urging people to open up those boxes of lights that they just put away and decorate their homes as a sign of hope. the hashtag thereunderrin trends for life. the hallmark channel is ready to spread cheer. crown media announced a christmas movie marathon for everyone stuck at home in self quarantine. it starts friday, march 27th and goes all weekend long. so we're back to christmas in the middle of all of this. [ laughter ] maria: oh, boy. thank you. markets are coming off of the lows right now. we're looking at a sharply lower opening for futures indicating a decline of 547 points, this is actually the low of the morning session, down 5

it was an unprecedented day, adam silver really led the way like he has many times the nhl has done iti feel bad for the xfl they had done pretty well. the st. louis team had the highest attendance it kills their momentum in the first year >> i had it on while having dinner and had no interest this was going to take a few years to gain traction >> the good thing is that at least vince mcmann put in a half a million. the folks i really feel bad for is the service sector employees, hotels and lodging one thing about the nba, nhl and others, they can push their season back into summer and be okay not just march madness but wrestling, hockey and other things going through omaha it is a real hit to the communities. >> i feel bad for the kids who will never get another shot at this >> absolutely. >> senior day is always emotional. now none of these seniors get to go in the tournaments now. >> rutgers/michigan game got canceled right before it >> to see parents having to console their senior wrestlers when they loose. a lot of these seniors won't have that moment >> what about tbs, tnt you ca

i think adam silver, our commissioner, took aggressive steps because we couldn't put our players, ourn to get sick. and, you know, with this spreading so rapidly, i'm glad the nba was in the forefront of shutting down games. brian: so where do you go from here? what's the message to the players and the fans? >> well, the first thing, you know, i talked to the players right after the game, ours was the last game in the nba, and i told them you have to self-quarantine. obviously, we want to keep you healthy, but being celebrities, being special athletes that, you know, fans want to touch, want to take pictures with, want to be close to, you're particularly at risk of catching it but also of distributing it, you know? there's a lot of people that the players are responsible to, and i told them it's not just about you. you have grandparents, you have parents, you have people that you know that might have compromised immune systems, so we have a responsibility to take care of ousters, and we'll -- ourselves, is and we'll work with them to make sure they stay healthy, make sure they self-qu
