NBA could move 2020/21 start date up because Disney “badly wants” games on
Christmas Day
联盟可能因为迪士尼"非常想要"圣诞节那天有比赛，所以把20-21赛季提前开始
The NBA is reportedly keen on starting next season on December 22 following
suggestions the 2020/21 campaign could begin sometime in January or February.
据报导联盟可能把下一季开季放在12/22，之前的消息是说原本开季可能会在1月或2月。
The latest proposed date came as a surprise to many and, according to Marc
Stein of the New York Times (H/T Uproxx.com), ESPN’s desire to air games on
Christmas Day, as they would traditionally, could be why the league is
looking to move the date up.
而最近的这个消息吓到了很多人，而根据纽时记者Marc Stein的报导，因为ESPN的传统要
在圣诞节转播球赛的意图可能是导致联盟把开季时间提前的原因。
“Disney, which owns ESPN and has been described by Silver as the league’s
biggest partner, badly wants to continue that Christmas tradition and have
five games to televise on either ABC or ESPN. Turner, the N.B.A.’s other
primary broadcast partner, would get its traditional opening night
doubleheader on a Tuesday if the union agrees to the Dec. 22 proposal. The
league, for its part, has informed the union that it projects a difference of
$500 million in revenue if it can start the season in December rather than
mid-January.”
“联盟主席Silver把拥有ESPN的迪士尼描绘成联盟最大的伙伴，他们想要延续他们的圣诞
节传统，想要那天在ABC或者ESPN频道上转播5场比赛。而若是球员工会同意这项提议的
话，联盟另外一个转播伙伴Turner电视网则是想要在开季的12/22那天转播两场比赛。而联
盟自己则是跟工会说，开季在12月或是1月中，推估收入两者会差到5亿镁。”
$500 billion is a figure which would represent an incentive to do just about
anything. It would be hard to imagine the NBA letting that go but there are a
lot of things which need working out, more importantly: player and fan safety.
5亿镁这个数字会让人有动机去做任何事，很难想像联盟会让这机会就这样跑走。但是目前
还有很多事情得要先处理，更重要的是：球员跟粉丝的安全。
Another trip to the bubble already seems like it’s out of the question for
several stars. Anthony Davis doesn’t want to see Disney World for another
two years after being among the last set of persons to leave.
再次去泡泡圈打球在近几年内是不可能再来的了，湖人Anthony Davis是最后离开泡泡圈的
几组人马之一，他自己是在这两年内是不想再看到迪士尼世界的。
