In this whacky and never seen before world were living in, there are going to be things you are not going to see in 2020.<\/p>\n
Its bad enough that that high school and college tournament seasons in hockey and basketball were washed away.<\/p>\n
I especially feel for all the seniors who never got to play that final game of their careers.<\/p>\n
Then, we lost the major league baseball season, even though the MLB insists it is still trying to implement an 80-game season and post season in the next month or so.<\/p>\n
Good luck on that as several star players are already saying they dont want to get paid of for half of a year.<\/p>\n
Thats the kind of greed that has turned off many people to pro sports.<\/p>\n
Theres also the matter of playing the games in stadiums that will be cleared for the most part because of COVID-19.<\/p>\n
I believe the fall college football season might be in the most jeopardy of any sport.<\/p>\n
The are just too many colleges (Division I, II and III) sponsoring the sport for there not to be major problems with scheduling.<\/p>\n
The National Football League might be in the best logistical shape of all pro teams, believe it or not.<\/p>\n
With just 32 teams and a 17-game regular season schedule, the NFL might be able to find just enough locations safe enough to play in.<\/p>\n
Can you imagine telling Green Bay Packers season ticket-holders they mave to travel to Minnesota or Detroit for a home game.<\/p>\n
Sports aside, consider whats been lost locally because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n
We also wont have the chance to watch any July Fourth festivities. There isnt going to be a Chassell Strawberry Festival or a Baraga Lumberjack Days. Or any number of other celebrations that were planned.<\/p>\n
And thats still not the worst scenario going down the road.<\/p>\n
If theres another outbreak coming up, we could lose the fall and winter sports seasons for everyone.<\/p>\n
And thats very scary.<\/p>\n
