Letter to the editor: A spring without sports is surreal

Maybe we took sports for granted.

It’s been over two weeks since the day sports stood still, and I’m still wrapping my head around it.

On March 11, the NBA suspended its season after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.

Many professional sports followed in suspending their seasons, including the NHL, MLB and more. The Sun Belt Conference canceled all athletic events for the rest of the semester, and the NCAA canceled its remaining winter and spring championships.

With everything surrounding COVID-19, suspending sports was 100% the right choice, but it still stings.
