Introduction
The question on everyone’s mind is “when are sports coming back?” The simple answer is that we don’t know. However, there are a number of factors that will influence when sports leagues decide to resume their seasons.
One of the biggest factors is the severity of the coronavirus pandemic. If the disease continues to spread rapidly, it will be difficult for leagues to justify putting their players and staff at risk. Another factor is how quickly a vaccine or treatment for the virus can be developed. If there is a way to protect players from contracting the disease, that would go a long way towards resuming play.
Other factors include the financial stability of leagues and teams, as well as broadcast agreements. If leagues are losing money hand over fist, it will be difficult to justify resuming play. And if broadcasters are not contractually obligated to air games, they may not be as inclined to do so.
In short, there is no easy answer to when sports will come back. It will likely be a combination of many factors, some of which are out of our control.
The Impact of COVID-19 on Sports
Sports have been a big part of our lives for many years. They bring people together and provide entertainment. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a big impact on sports. Many events have been cancelled or postponed. This has had a financial impact on many people and businesses.
Cancellation of Events
The outbreak of COVID-19 has had a profound impact on the world of sports. A large number of sporting events have been cancelled or postponed as a result of the pandemic. This has had a knock-on effect on the economy, with many businesses dependent on sports tourism being hit hard. The following is a list of some of the major sporting events that have been cancelled or postponed due to COVID-19.
-The 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo, Japan
-The 2020 UEFA European Football Championship
-The 2020 Copa America
-The 2020 Wimbledon Tennis Championships
-The 2020 Tour de France
Postponement of Events
The outbreak of COVID-19 has had a profound impact on the world of sports. At the professional level, nearly every sport has been affected in some way. Some leagues, like the NBA and NHL, have suspended play entirely. Others, like MLB and MLS, have postponed their seasons. And still others, like the PGA Tour and NASCAR, have seen individual events canceled or postponed. The list goes on.
The postponement and cancellation of events has had a ripple effect throughout the sports world. For example, the Olympics were postponed until 2021, which means that athletes who had been training for years will have to wait another year to compete. Similarly, college athletes who were planning on declare for the 2020 NBA Draft will now have to wait until 2021.
The impact of COVID-19 on sports is far-reaching and will continue to be felt for some time to come. But one thing is certain: the love of sports will endure.
The Return of Sports
With the world beginning to open back up after being on lock-down for the past few months, people are inch-ing closer and closer to getting back to their “normal” lives. This includes the return of some much-anticipated events, like the return of sports. While there is still some uncertainty surrounding when exactly sports will be coming back, we are delving into the pros and cons of their return.
The NBA
Sports are on everyone’s mind these days. With the COVID-19 pandemic still raging in many parts of the world, the question of when sports will return is top of mind for many fans.
As far as the NBA is concerned, plans are still very much up in the air. The league was originally planning to resume its season in late July, but with the outbreak of new cases of COVID-19 in several states, that plan is now up in the air.
For now, the league is still working on a plan to resume play, but it remains to be seen when that will happen. Once a plan is finalized, we will be sure to update this article with more information.
The NHL
As the cases of the coronavirus continue to decline in North America, various sports leagues are planning their return. One of the first major leagues to announce their return is the National Hockey League (NHL).
The NHL is planning to resume its season on August 1st with a 24 team playoff. The playoff will be played in two hub cities that have yet to be announced. Twelve teams from each conference will compete in best-of-five series to advance to the conference finals. The Stanley Cup Final will follow the same format.
Players and team staff will be required to quarantine in designated hotels and will only be able to leave for practices, games, and essential activities. Players will also have to undergo daily COVID-19 tests.
The NHL is hopeful that by taking these precautions, they can avoid any outbreaks and complete their season safely.
MLB
No one is quite sure when MLB will return, but there are a few things that we do know. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred has said that he is hopeful that there will be a baseball season this year, but that it may look different from what we are used to. One possibility is that the season could be shorter than usual, or that games could be played without fans in attendance. Whatever the case may be, we all just want to see some baseball!
Conclusion
Though we do not have a concrete answer of when sports will be coming back, we can make an educated guess. Most likely, we will see a return to sports in the Fall of 2020. Different leagues are taking different approaches to how they will handle their respective seasons. The NFL has already said that they are planning on playing their full season, while the MLB is considering a shorter season. It is still too early to tell how well each league will fare. However, we can be hopeful that by taking the proper precautions, we will be able to enjoy our favorite sports again in the near future.
