The world of sports has come to a screeching halt due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and the Indoor Football League is no exception.
The Oakland Panthers, co-owned by former Raiders and Cal running back Marshawn Lynch, announced Thursday that their season will be indefinitely postponed following Saturday’s game against the Iowa Barnstormers.
"The world is dealing with a crisis, and we owe it to our community to take responsible actions," the Panthers said Thursday in a team statement. "We, as an organization, must take the necessary steps to contribute to the global fight against COVID-19. We know that this postponement is disappointing to many fans, players, coaches, but we will be back as soon as it is responsible.
