We can watch KBO games on ESPN now and Bundesliga soccer has returned as well. There was a skins game among PGA players and, while it was kind of neat to see the pros lug their own bags, they weren’t exactly playing with their own money. NASCAR is back, too. Honestly, that is about all I know about car racing even without a pandemic.
To paraphrase a line from Billy Crystal’s show, 700 Sundays, since the lockdown started I am no longer tethered to the sports world the way I was on March 11. I’m not sure if it’s age, not being around the area where I grew up, the corporatization of sports or some combination of all three, but I’m not nearly the fan I was when I was younger.
