The Return of Sports

As the coronavirus continues to spread across the country far and wide, sports fans are getting closer and closer to their favorite leagues seasons starting back up again. With many schedules set to begin within the next couple months, many are wondering exactly how sports will return and what the new “normal” will look like. According to an article from ESPN, it looks like many leagues will host games without fans as a way to combat the spread of the virus. As strange and unfortunate as this sounds, I’m sure many fans are just excited to be able to tune into a live game on TV from the safety and comfort of their homes.

Some of the most popular leagues such as the MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL are highlighted at the beginning of this article. The MLB is set to reopen July 23, with the plan to host games in their own ballparks. The NFL is set to reopen regular season on September 10, with team facilities already open. The NBA is set to reopen its season on July 30, with all 22 teams playing and practicing at the Disney Sports Complex near Orlando. Lastly, the NHL is set to reopen training camps on July 13, with games set to begin August 1.

In these strange times, there are no straightforward answers. For most die-hard fans however, watching their favorite teams and players on TV is surely better than nothing at all.
