Sports Return... Is It Ready?

Are we to that point where we can see some normalcy? Some think so and I kind of agree. There hasn't been any sports going on in about two months. Hard to imagine.

NASCAR returns this upcoming week and will do a race at Darlington. I do believe there won't be any fans, which is better safe than sorry. The following week will have the usual Coca Cola 600 at Charlotte. Anything to have the real sport back and get to return to 200 miles an hour racing in real life.

Baseball is getting underway in Taiwan and South Korea. For the MLB, it's only a matter of getting teams and players to agree to whatever is being proposed. Whatever it is, it better be good enough support from all sides. The same can be said for the NHL, which could do supposedly a 24 team playoff format. I'm not sure that proposal would work. The MLB is considering five rounds for their draft, and the NBA could do one that is virtual, similar to the NFL approach from last month.

Maybe this will keep people from going to places for only a few hours. It can serve as a good distraction from the complications of life. Things are starting to re-open in some states. Maybe it's a sign, considering the NBA has some teams reopening their facilities to practice. There's that talk that it could get worse, but we can't always assume it will be a big disaster. I don't think people are that stupid. There are some, but collectively, I don't think so. But we'll have to see. If things are better, then maybe we can get out of pandemic mode. If its worse, then we'll continue with what we have now. But we have to get some normalcy at some point.
