Covid-19 Affecting Local Sports

We know the Seattle Mariners are playing
right now along with the Sounders. The
Seahawks are expected to play as well.

We don't know what the delay in playing

or less games will cost both the Mariners

and Sounders. At this point we have no

idea of the Seahawks. It is possible there

season could be shut down at any time.

The Tacoma News Tribune reported on

Monday the Washington Huskies are going

to lose $70 million because of the virus at

this point anyway. There were no spring

sports and fall sports are cancelled to at

least spring. We have no idea of the winter

sports though they could be postponed until

January 2021.

We have no idea how much loss the Washington

State Cougars will have as well and then there

is Gonzaga along with the other colleges in

the area.

There is a good chance the Huskies along with

the Cougars and the other schools will have to

shut down some of the sport programs. The 

Huskies I am sure will have football, basketball

and women's softball.  At least I hope the softball

team will be around since they have had a lot

of national attention over the years.

This isn't only costing the colleges millions

of dollars it is costing the young people the

dreams they have had for a long time as well.

We just hope this virus will end soon but it

will cost some sports all together too.
