From consistent NFL and CFB games being postponed due to positive COVID test results to half of an NBA season being played in a “bubble” separated from the outside world. As a society, we continue to implement whatever measures we can to try to salvage the pleasures of watching our favorite teams while also trying to keep our athletes as safe as possible in an effort to try to keep scheduling start dates on track as if it were a COVID-free world.
