When all is said and done this 2020, we’ll look back at this year in sports as the Year of the Bubble.
Leagues around the world had their own protected environments where they were shut out from the outside world, shacking it up with teammates and adversaries in an ultra-competitive summer camp for grown-ups.
In sports, it has also been the great year of sacrifice. Athletes and staff each gave up some of their freedom so we could play on – away from their loved ones, in their own little planets as life continued in the world around them each day.
