NBA Return Status | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

It's pretty well-known that the NBA season has been called off due to the Corona Virus Pandemic, however, people are already looking into how to safely resume the games in order to provide others with enjoyment during this time.

Unfortunately, prospects aren't good for this 8 billion dollar industry, who says that even in the unlikely incident that the games do resume, they will have to take place much after June. Major league events would most likely be canceled and could result in fewer games being played in order to make sure that 2020-2021 isn't also pushed back farther. This sets up a new host of problems, mainly with the lack of practice times in-between seasons. Multiple ideas are being thrown around by officials, ranging from spectator free arenas to full-on changing the time that the seasons start to Christmas.

Of course, the main risk remains the same regardless. The close proximity of people should the games resume. It's not just the 17 players, it's the coaches, the trainers, the nutritionists, the helpers, and many more people working together to keep the machine running at its best capacity. Then on top of that, there are 30 teams. If a single person in the massive business has the virus, it can spread like wildfire, essentially taking out all the teams.

Hopefully, the season can resume when it is safe to do so, and everyone can resume enjoying one of the most popular sports in the United States, and although an official cancellation hasn't been called by the executives, it wouldn't help to get your hopes up about the return of the season this year.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
