Much has been written and said over the past couple of days about the one-year anniversary of American sports shutting down due to COVID-19.
We’ve seen reporters dig and delve into the massive financial crisis that has devastated professional and collegiate sports leagues. We’ve seen stories looking backward on how each sport reacted to the pandemic and we’ve seen stories looking forward on how these sports will be forever changed.
I would like to write a different kind of story today; a story thanking sports and all of its athletes and coaches and commissioners and athletic directors who have helped us immeasurably through one of the most trying times in our nation’s history.
