As you can see the outbreak of the coronavirus has greatly impacted and completely changed how I live my life. The coronavirus canceling the FIS Alpine Skiing World Championship made me so mad because I had been waiting for a month to watch Mikaela Shiffrin’s comeback and then the race just got canceled. Overall the coronavirus has impacted my life greatly and it has probably impacted yours just as much. Now enough about my life, let’s look at what it has done to professional sports leagues around the world.
The NBA
The coronavirus had a huge effect on the NBA season by completing canceling it after a Utah Jazz player, Rudy Gobert, tested positive for the virus as well as other players on his team. At first, the NBA was just going to play fanless games but now that a player tested positive they just completely shut down the whole league.
The MLB
The coronavirus had a huge effect on the MLB by canceling spring training and pushing back the start of the regular season by at least two weeks.
College Basketball
The coronavirus had a huge effect on college basketball by canceling the biggest college event of the year, March Madness.
Other Sports
The coronavirus had a huge effect on many other sports by possibly postponing the summer Olympics in Tokyo, suspending the NHL season, suspending the MLS season and all premier and champions league games, and canceling the Players tournament in golf.
Other Effects in your Daily Life
The coronavirus has not only effected sports but also your life at home. There have been laws made saying that you are not allowed to hang out with your friends and that all non-essential stores will close. Also, almost all ski resorts have been closed and grocery stores have been completely emptied. Almost all schools in the country have been closed to try to stop the spread of the virus.
As you can see the coronavirus has played a huge factor in every part of daily life and sports.
