Title (Dublin Core)

March Sadness

Description (Dublin Core)

This story was the first impact Covid-19 had on me back when the pandemic first began to
spread in the U.S. The article explains the cancellation of March Madness, the NCAA basketball
tournament that millions of fans tune into every year, my family being one of them. This event
brought the country together in a way, but was being canceled because of a global pandemic.
This cancelation shocked the country and created a necessary shut down of all other sports.
Sports create a sense of community in this country and around the world, but this virus took all
of these exciting events away from the viewers, creating a gap in the lives of many around the world.
The decision was made by the NCAA Board and the article was written by Alan Blinder
