MLS: Mental toll of social isolation must be considered

We are now into the fifth(?) week of social isolation and no sports. The world has irreversibly changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and we are only just getting to grips with the extent of that change. In sport, in society, in the economy, and in life in general, everything will be different.

For professional sportspeople, including Major League Soccer players, they currently sit in limbo. No games will be played in the near future, and potentially for the rest of 2020 should the worst-case scenario play out, while all events and competitions have been put on hold.
