Sports are also a much needed outlet and teaching experience for the players; they're not just for us. Some people are born to move and be active and compete. How would they do without sports?

That said, having a basketball season to watch is one of the main things keeping me going these past few months. Watching games is also one of my main activities that I share with my dad. We text back and forth throughout.

Yes watching is stressful but it's a familiar stress, in a year in which almost everything else feels unfamiliar. I personally would consider myself much poorer if sports went away.

Totally agree Jacko. IMO, throughout the pandemic there seems to be a personal fan-centric reaction regarding the decision to play. The reaction totally disregards the most important people in the discussion - the millions of athletes themselves (from T-ball on up). Playing sports is not just about the entities that seek glory and make money.
