There isn’t a sports league that doesn’t think the worst of the pandemic is long over. So what have they learned? williamfleitch writes
What a long strange trip it’s been. Photo: Carmen Mandato/Getty Images This isn’t really news by now, but the first two weeks of the NFL season have made it explicit: In sports, the pandemic is over. The stands are full, sure, but that’s been the case for a while. What is telling is that the Delta surge hasn’t messed with the football schedule one whit — even as cases have surged throughout the late summer, and even as more than 2,000 Americans are now dying of the virus every day.
Whenever the COVID-19 pandemic is actually over, in, like, the real world — even if “over” just means it’s endemic and we’ve all just learned to live with it — there will be countless discussions of the lessons we’ve learned, and not learned, in the wake of the worst public-health crisis in a century. If the pandemic is as over in sports as everyone involved is acting, there should be some takeaways from this entire wrenching process.
