Sports

If you’re a sports fan, by now you’ve obviously heard the news. Some Dallas Cowboys players, Houston Texans players, and a few other pro players from around the league have now tested positive for COVID-19. 

At a time like this, when cities across the country are up in flames, people who love sports would typically use athletic competition as an outlet for their collective depression, either as a participant in some church softball league, or as a couch potato tuning into the boob tube to watch a pro or college event. Now, though, even that has been taken from us, courtesy of COVID-19, or has it? Time will tell.

The misery tied to COVID-19 may actually change the way sports fans look at professional million-dollar players. Fans may really start to think, amid the misery now being felt around the world, why are we paying so much to watch adults play a kid’s game, with so many of them raking in multi-million-dollar paychecks? I know the unemployed fans are going to feel that way.
