Slowly the sports world tries to resume play and get back to what it does best, compete and entertain! The Coronavirus pandemic has disrupted are lives and stopped all non-essential businesses in its tracks. There are so many challenges that face each league and the players moving forward. Each sport is different and keeping the players healthy and safe is paramount to play. The leagues will have to modify rules and will have to follow CDC guidelines. Most sports will start play without fans in attendance. Most fans, given a choice, would be pleased to have sports back without the ability to attend live. The NBA, MLB, NHL and NFL are all still working on negotiating a financial deal with their players on issues dealing with health, safety and money.
