Its natural to hold out hope that sports will return at some point in the relatively near future.But the more information we get on the coronavirus and how its impacting people and cities acro s the world and more importantly, how it'strending toward larger and larger impacts that hope seems to be fading more and more.For example, . A spokesman for Mayor John Tory later told reporters that the ban , but the province of Ontario has Greg Bird Jersey «."The end of June is three months away. That's the type of impact were talking about. And who knows what the world will look like in three weeks, much le s three months?MORE: Sports have to take Tyler Austin Jersey a back seat, nomatter how much we might want sports to drive the conversation. Let's look at this latest news Toronto is one of the first, if not the first, major city to ban public events for that long a time from a practical standpoint.Both the NBA and NHL have pre sed pause on their seasons. Normally, theyd be wrapping up their playoffs and crowning a champion in early June. Even if the NBA decided to start playing games before the end of June, it's po sible the reigning champion Raptors couldnt play home games in their title defense theyre currently second in the Eastern Conference until July, and that's if the NBA just went straight to the playoffs.This would seemingly impact a return to normalcy for the NBA, MLB and NHL.NBA has talked about a single-site return to play, which would cover the Raptors. But no Matt Holliday Jersey games in Toronto until long after the NBA season would have ended. Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) In the NHL, the Maple Leafs are in playoff position, too, though it's not nearly as solid as the Raptors'; theyre third in the Atlantic Division. Same thing, though. No home games (unle s games were allowed to be played in empty arenas and stadiums)until at least the beginning of July.And baseball? That's interesting. The MLB Players A sociationand MLB powersthatbe aredeep in negotiations about how the 2020 season might play out. Contingency plans are being made, and thinking is outside the box. Games in front of no fans could happen. Games played in a handful of cities, to reduce travel, could happen. But the problem is, theyre trying to hit a moving target. There are no solid answers. If they knew when they Paul O'Neill Jersey could start, a plan could be made.I bounce between optimism that there will be baseball again this year and pe simism. News like this is a strong reminder that if it does return, it probably is not returning in 30 MLB cities simultaneously. Going to be a lot of moving parts under the best of circumstances. Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) Early Drew Hutchison Jersey June seemed optimistic, and maybe po sible. But with this news more importantly, how an actual city government views the crisis that seems like it's out the window. We just don't know much right now.What we do know, though, is this: There may not be any games played in front of fans in Toronto until at least July. Thats a sobering thought, and a reminder to stay inside and keep your distance if you have to go out.
