With life as we know it turned sideways and shaken, it’s not been easy to find touchstones of normalcy. The moment you think you’ve found a little bit of hope to cling to, it’s ripped free by fear of the unknown. Sports are often our safe harbor in troubled times, but they’re now at one of the biggest contributing factors to the collective unease.
Perhaps the only reassuring aspect is that we’re all a part of this together, even when we’re intentionally keeping ourselves apart. And though we don’t know when we’ll be able to gather to cheer our teams as they play actual games again, maintaining the faith that we’ll do so at some point this summer is what’s keeping a lot of us going.
