Due to the fast spreading sickness the commissioners of all sports have been delaying the play of all games. At first the teams were suppose to just play with no fans in attendance, but then a player on Utah Jazz basketball team tested positive for having COVID-19, and after that the whole NBA has been shut down. Not long after that the MLB had also announced that they would be pushing back the start of opening day. They have still not said when that new day will be yet either. and probably one of the most anticipated events every year, no matter what sport you like the NCAA march madness tournament has been cancelled as well. This one was devastating to all sports fans, because it is the peak of college sports, and some may argue that this tournament is better than some professional teams playoffs. Also all college spring sports have been cancelled as well has high schools, but for college the NCAA is granting all of the players and extra year of eligibility if they choose to take that. It is just crazy to think about all of the things that are happening throughout the untied states and around the world because of this unknown infection.

Its so sad how all this happened so fast and no one even saw it coming. I used to play soccer and track the fact that all this happened while track was going on sucks because even though I did not join the team this year sucks knowing the part that everyone that was on the team can no longer have the track meets. But I feel for every sport especially if they are seniors because they will no longer be able to play with their teammates. This has changed so many people in different ways and we are all trying to get through it but it is something very difficult. People just need to start listening so that this virus can get controlled this is why the virus got bigger and now it is everywhere because no one stayed home like they were supposed to.
ReplyDeleteThis whole thing is crazy with the sudden effects it has had on society. I was hoping I was at least going to have sports to watch during the lockdown but now thats gone too.
ReplyDeleteIt is unfortunate how the coronavirus has had such a major impact on our society including sports. Many students and young athletes grow up working to eventually have the opportunity to be recruited for college, as an athletic scholarship may be their ticket to receiving an education. These athletes are currently stripped from this opportunity during their prime years to be recognized by a school. In addition, those that have already been accepted to the schools of their choice are unable to visit campuses to decide which school is the best fit for them, meaning that they are forced to decide where they will be for the next four years of their life without certainty it is where they belong.
