With the rapid spread of the deadly COVID-19 virus, millions of people and businesses worldwide have been affected, prompting closures, stay-at-home orders and worker layoffs.
While international industries such as healthcare, food and transportation have been impacted by the virus, sports media has also taken one of the hardest blows.
Since the outbreak, cancellations hammered nearly every sport starting March 12. MLB canceled all spring training games and delayed the start of the season by two weeks. The NBA and NHL seasons were suspended. MLS halted its season for 30 days. Several professional tennis tournaments were cancelled, including the Miami Open, Fed Cup and Wimbledon, which was cancelled April 1.
