When football replaces baseball

Since nobody could go to the Nats game, a lot of people were sitting outside the stadium in a very large makeshift café watching the 49ers play. I guess if you can’t have baseball, football is the substitute.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Nice shot of this pleasant looking outdoor setting. I don't see a lot of interest in the game here at this moment. Fwiw, I'm a baseball fan first and increasingly disenchanted with the NFL.

I’d rather have baseball. It’s great to see people enjoying themselves. Love the dog. V

It is an interesting sign of the times... the well spaced tables and sports on an outdoor screen.

A new way of life make shift outdoor eating a TV and a stadium that probably could probably seat many people 20 feet apart with masks . Your photograph is well seen and presented with flattering light and excellent resolution. Vote

a beautiful and joyous scene of people having a drink who nevertheless practices social distancing. V

This is an interesting photograph of a not so interesting subject. Which is quite a feat on your part. Well done. V

The dog appears to have better things to do, but as they say "this is the new normal."

A great slice of life in the time of covid.

I'm like the dog, I turn my back on football and baseball. So much waiting between plays. I bet the dog likes hockey and basketball, like me. Cool photo.

odd to go outside then sit and watch a screen....the dog looks ready to go for a walk instead..

What a pleasant scene. At first reminded me of an Impressionist's painting, Wonderful historic record! V.
