It all started because she was bored.
Annie Agar, a freelance television sports reporter in Rockford, Mich., was out of work as no sports were being played in the early months of the pandemic. She had given up her apartment and moved back in with her parents. Here it was mid-May and she spent her days watching Netflix, playing board games and missing sports, work and the life she used to have.
"I was on a Zoom call for a birthday party, and something just clicked," Agar, 24, said in a phone interview this week.
