Editor’s Opinion:

Everyone is going to have their opinion on this issue, including myself. The reality is that the threat of this virus is real and when you have so many major sporting events coming to a grinding halt, you have to do what is in the best interest of the health of the athletes and spectators for the foreseeable future.
