All these events would be booted out for the Olympics, World Games in USA in a different month than July? That's a DOA since July is the only month where only baseball remains a viable competition. WG would be totally irrelevant during NBA playoffs or the football season.

 

It most likely would be totally irrelevant anyway except for the die hards like us who would follow it anyway

The World Games would actually be unaffected by the move thinking about it now. None of the athletes, save a few climbers and the softball teams, would be at the Olympics. I think it’s unfair to force other events to move in order to host the Olympics. If the Olympics have to be moved, their credibility/prestige will already be hurt. Plus, it would further discourage nations from hosting the Olympics, and other events that are somewhat required for the Olympics.

US will do a good job of marketing it. People here will probably know about it.

Olympic Games is the biggest shark in the pool. Everyone else has to move for that.

 

1972 hostage crisis didn't hurt the Olympics credibility, several boycotts didn't hurt it either and you think a coronavirus delay hurts it? No frickin' way! Since even USA wants to host the Olympics again (hello 2028) then it's all fine and dandy with its credibility IMO

We will always have darts. The PDC will never cancel an event, they have no soul
