Did you know that Thursday was one of those rare sports equinoxes in the US? It's when all four major sports - baseball (MLB), American football (NFL), ice hockey (NHL) and basketball (NBA) - play on the same day. It doesn't happen that often, but because the pandemic has really messed up the schedules it's going to happen quite a few times this month (including I think tomorrow). They're calling Thursday a mega-equinox because there were a slew of other sports being played that day as well. If you add women's basketball (WNBA) and "soccer" (MLS) - then that is the first day in history that all 6 were played on the same day. Plus there were a number of other significant sporting events going on - including tennis (US Open) and cycling (Tour de France). And now the Premier League is back as well (good win for Palace in what I fear could be a relegation battle this season). This month will be good for sports - though the lack of crowds still makes everything feel unreal and not quite right.
