Year In Sports 2020

Well here we are, we've made it to the end of 2020. As we sit here on the last day of the year, it gives us time to reflect back on the last 365 days in the sports world. In a year that was supposed to be filled with huge events and sold out crowds all over the place, that wasn't exactly the case. COVID-19 cancelled a lot of plans for the sports world and even pushed back the summer Olympics. Even with all the crazy happening this year, there was still plenty to talk about from the sports world.

Having no fans in the building has been an interesting sight, and sound, for sure. But with that, it hasn't stopped the shortage of great players, and plays, from happening this year. There's been plays and moments that we, as fans, will never forget, and they have taken place in this crazy year known as 2020.
