LOOK MAN, THEY’RE TRYING: SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT IN A PANDEMIC
This quarantine have been a difficult and trying time for everyone. Unemployment is at an all time high and public morale is at an all time low.
With one of the world’s most beloved past times essentially non-existent, what is the world to do? Of course I am talking about sports. COVID-19 have left the basketball season in suspense and left this year’s olympics erased from history.
It poses the question, how do people who spend their livelihoods talking about Sports continue to thrive when there are no sports?
I love Chauncey but man they’re pulling stats out their ass! lmao.
NO MORE HYPOTHETICALS !! LOL.
The sights have been kinda crazy to see. Have you seen ESPN’s instaposts? They’re literally coming up with anything! However, it made me think man at least they’re trying. They’re trying to deliver content to their audience, fulfill contractual obligations, doing everything that come with running a media conglomerate in the midst of the pandemic.
Iconic scene of mike swinging that bat, I want a bat too Mike, I want a bat too…
The saving grace for sports has indeed been ESPN’s The Last Dance informally known as the “Jordan Doc”. A sports documentary that chronicles Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, last championship run.
This excellent documentary helped reignite Jordan’s legacy as PLAYER and gave sports content driven companies legitimate content for the next five weeks or so.
With the NBA set to return at the end of July, it makes me wonder will the sports world finally have something to look forward to or we will keep creating impossible hypotheticals?
Anyone who’s been affected by this virus (in reality all of us has), have to come up with a ways to keep the job going even when it’s seemingly no job.
Musicians must utilize livestream features to substitute the lack of concerts, visual artists must use their creative wit to get people to spend money they might not have. It is a trying time for everyone and people can’t be judged for at least trying to ease the blow even if its only a little.
