I’ve got to be honest, I still haven’t really processed the events of the last two days. Rather than a series of dominoes tumbling, the chain reaction that ostensibly began with the NBA suspending its season more closely resembled a controlled implosion of American sports. Things might have been different if this was all happening in the relative doldrums of August, but we’re in what would normally be the most frenetic period of the entire sports calendar.
March Madness alone being cancelled is enough to shift my addled brain off of its foundation, then you take away spring training and push the start of the regular season back two weeks.
