Welcome to Florida — the post- pandemic sports capital of the nation | Commentary

Let us relish and revere our soon-to-be status as the post-pandemic professional sports capital of the United States.

It’s no a secret that our state has never been known for having the best of professional sports teams (see Jaguars, Bucs and Dolphins), but it’s looking more and more like we may soon have the most professional sports teams.

If you’re scoring at home, our state may soon harbor displaced teams from three leagues — the NBA, MLS and Major League Baseball — all here at one time in a desperate attempt to save their seasons amid a global pandemic that has shut down sports for more than two months.
