Community Corner: Should MLS still play a full season?

With the coronavirus bringing all of the sports world to a complete stop, Major League Soccer is at a standstill. Paused after 2 matches, the league will now be on hold until at least May 10th.

Still, commissioner Don Garber is insistent that the league will resume at some point and play the full 34-game schedule, possibly extending into December in order to finish. With no idea on when the outbreak will be contained long enough to resume sports, it seems to be misguided to expect that the league can complete a 34-game schedule without sacrificing the health of the players by having a ton of games in a short period of time.
