The second to last Casual Friday of the offseason is here, and it’s all about the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
Even though soccer and softball were underway earlier this week, Friday’s opening ceremony signified the official start of an Olympics that many Japanese citizens believe should not be happening given the surge in COVID-19 cases locally, not to mention cases around the world.
This will be an Olympics unlike any other. Stadiums will be empty, medals won’t be placed around the necks of athletes, and obviously there are so many virus protocols to follow that have resulted in athletes withdrawing from the competition already.
