This column is an open letter to the Orlando Magic and Orlando City, our two professional sports teams who are both getting ready to begin play right here in Central Florida within the next few weeks.
With the NBA and MLS scheduled to resume their seasons at ESPN’s Wide of Sports in July, here is my sincerest request to the Magic and the Lions:
Amid all of the negativity in our city right now, give us something positive to think about and talk about.
Give us a temporary respite from the skyrocketing coronavirus cases in our city and a brief breather from the cable news barrage of bad news that reflect a nation seemingly more divided than ever politically, racially, economically and spiritually.
