Newsweek’s countdown to the most memorable sporting moments in 2020 continues today with the maximum of five sensitive venues. The most unforgettable moment came here with a helicopter crash in January 2020. Then there’s COVID-19, social justice reform, a fiery car twist of fate and the replacement of an outdated NFL nickname.
Here are the five most sensitive sporting moments of 2020:
The crews had to open their door and took him to the local hospital without delay. Many enthusiasts ready for the worst news imaginable while NASCAR officers remained silent for hours. Then, that same night, they announced that Newman would be fine.
He left the hospital the next day and returned to the road three months later.
Also leading at the time, Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Target stopped promoting Redskins products and equipment, and then Amazon got rid of Redskins products from their site.
The replacement came after several teams and sponsors deemed the “Redskins” offensive to Native American teams.
People of all colors, from coast to coast, marched in favor of social justice reform, defying the police and protesting against police brutality opposed to other people of color.
The motion has submerged the American sports landscape, from the NBA to NASCAR. The NBA, which plays in its “bubble” in the Orlando area, painted “Black Lives Matter” on all courts and allowed players to replace their last names. with messages of social justice in the most sensitive of their backs.
The NFL allowed social justice messages to paint areas inside the goal, and played the black national anthem, “Raise Every Voice and Sing” before the first game at each stadium this season.
NASCAR has banned the Confederate flag in all homes and events, and has its rule of requiring all groups and drivers to show up to listen to the national anthem.
In addition, schools took a position during the off-season and many groups used words of social justice as “unity” and “we all need” in their helmets. There was no game that the social justice motion did not make in 2020.
Late on March 12, the NCAA announced the cancellation of the rest of its winter and spring championships, effective immediately. That there will be no March Madness basketball tournament or University World Series.
Great occasions such as the Masters, Kentucky Derby, motorsport, marathons, tennis tournaments and all other occasions have been postponed or cancelled. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics have nevertheless been postponed until 2021.
NASCAR was one of the first to reboot, and did so on limited tracks, with all groups disguised and practicing social estating, and without the presence of enthusiasts. The NBA continued its season in orlando’s so-called “bubble,” where the normal season and full playoffs were playing.
Baseball played a changed schedule with genuine house games, but no enthusiasts were allowed. The MLB playoffs were held in unbiased locations, as did the 2020 World Series. Hockey resumed its normal season and playoffs with all games played in Canada. Despite everything held on deferred dates, but without spectators outdoors, the same was done with tennis and golf, the Masters was played in November instead of April 2020.
Football has begun, but with few or no enthusiasts, according to the protocol of the regional mandates of the city and the state.
The sporting scene was replaced in 2020 through the COVID-19 pandemic, but there is still no end in sight as 2021 prepares to begin.
Bryant, an 18-time star, five-time NBA champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist, ranks fourth on the NBA career scorers list, moving from third to fourth the day before his death.
After his death, he recalled not only in the professional and school basketball arenas, but also in the Super Bowl LIV in Miami and in the places of maximum fun.
In the 2020 NBA All-Star Game, the fourth quarter ended when a team reached 24 issues for that quarter. Bryant is the NBA player who has withdrawn two separate numbers through the same team. His with the Lakers was 8 and 24.
His death occurred just 3-4 weeks after the start of the new year, yet it is a moment that stands out above all other notable moments on the 2020 sports landscape.
