As people are still in quarantine, the lack of sports remains difficult for sports fans. People want to know when sports will resume. But how exactly can sports resume?
With many sports suspending or delaying their seasons, the first step would be giving players time to prepare before resuming sports. Players would have to get used to playing with each other again and they would have to play against opponents again before starting or resuming their seasons.
The next step would be the situation with the fans. When speaking in an interview, Dr. Fauci (Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) said that the fastest way to start sports again would be to have competitions without fans. If there were fans, it would be very complicated because masks would have to be worn and everyone would have to separate themselves from others. While some people prefer to see sports in person, most people are eager enough to just watch sports without fans if that’s what it’s going to take to resume sports.
The last step would be making sure the players stay healthy. When Covid-19 reached the U.S. and started spreading, all it took was one player to get the virus in the NBA (National Basketball Association) before all sports suspended or canceled their seasons. In order to start sports back up again, the health of players would have to be monitored, and precautionary actions would have to be taken to prevent another stoppage in sports.
While sports fans are eager and anxious for sports to return, there is hope that sports could start up again in the next couple of months. Playing without fans is not ordinary, but fans will do what it takes to see their favorite teams and players compete again.
