As a society, we’ve skipped a step or two when it comes to dealing with the current pandemic. No matter your political stripe, you are aware of this to some extent, I’d hope. A month ago, the Washington Nationals’ Sean Doolittle pointed out that “sports are the reward of a functioning society” and it seemed like the U.S. was forging ahead despite lacking real control over the situation.
The same holds true here in August, while Major League Baseball deals with outbreaks on multiple teams, has cancelled/postponed numerous games and seems to have their season on the brink of collapse.
