2020: A Sports-Less Odyssey
Hot Takedown looks at the effect of the coronavirus pandemic on both leagues and fans, and our Rabbit Hole remembers when sports were stopped before.
Filed under Hot Takedown
Hot Takedown talks — what else — the coronavirus. The team looks at what the shutdown of sports means for all of the leagues and at how fans have been affected. And our Rabbit Hole of the Week is a survey of other famous sports cancellations throughout history.
What we’re looking at this week:
- A timeline of the March 11 league suspensions.
- Why the closure of the NBA caused a domino effect on the other major leagues.
- Some of the economic implications of the COVID-19 crisis.
