Today I was supposed to go to the New York Mets’ second game of the season. It was even Pete Alonso bobblehead day. Obviously there was no game today. In fact there are no games anywhere (except maybe Belarus and a few other distant lands).

The world as we know it has been turned upside down and sports fans all over the globe are all trying to navigate through this crazy time.

There have been a lot of great stories circulating about various sports stars donating money to displaced workers and others in need. Here’s a look at just some of the efforts by soccer leagues and players to help out during this pandemic:

Premier League

Serie A

La Liga

MLS

Bundesliga

The only thing certain at the moment is that no one knows when things will get back to normal. The NBA, NHL and soccer leagues throughout the world stopped play mid season. MLB never finished spring training, Wimbledon, the Kentucky Derby, the Olympics, etc. have all been either cancelled or postponed indefinitely.

You can fill the void with some classic matches that are being rebroadcast or streamed online.

In the end it’s nice to see that well paid athletes will pitch in to help their communities when times are tough.
