With no sporting events scheduled to take place anytime soon due to concerns over the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, sports networks and social media accounts have taken a creative approach toward keeping fans entertained during the downtime.
Over the past few weeks, ESPN, MLB Network and SportsNet LA have resorted to re-airing classic games to give fans their fix of sports. Many of the contests televised thus far have involved the Los Angeles Dodgers, including Clayton Kershaw’s first start in the big leagues.
There has also been an increase in social media usage among players, fans and companies.
