I’m sorry to report that my blog will have very little to provide about sports with many seasons being postponed or cancelled completely due to the spread of the coronavirus that is impacting the sports world. MLB spring training was wrapping up and well on its way to opening day and the NBA was preparing for an all out war in the playoffs with many teams including the Lakers and the Bucks hitting their strides. The NHL’s regular season was coming to a close and the much anticipated Stanley Cup was on the horizon. The Boston Bruins leading the eastern standings and the Saint Louis Blues leading the western standings were both on their way to a rematch for the Stanley Cup that the Blues were able to take home last year. Thankfully, the NFL has not postponed the draft slotted for late April but there will be no fans in attendance making the event one to remember, probably for its awkwardness. As well as the NFL season still being on track to start in September as usual. Locally, high school basketball’s season has been cancelled without a winner due to the UIL eliminating most of the risk that student athletes might contract Covid-19. For many seniors this is a tragic time with many of their hopes of finishing their careers on a high note have been crushed. However, it’s sadly for the best as it’s not worth it to risk these kids’ lives over a game. Still, life without the usual distraction of sporting events has been fairly miserable, especially as many people around the globe realize just how much time watching national sports took up our time. Hopefully, this time period of self-isolation comes to an end soon and the world can resume back to its normal state but in the time being we just have to trudge on and find other distractions. I hope y’all are all safe and with your families making the best out of your situations.
