At a time when the utmost urgency on everyone’s mind is the fragility of life itself, this couldn’t appear to be more true.
At a time when the utmost urgency on everyone’s mind is the fragility of life itself, this couldn’t appear to be more true.At the same time, as philosophers of sport, we believe that it is important to recognise the role sports play in our lives – even in difficult times.
Most of the sports world has ground to a halt over the coronavirus pandemic. The Tokyo Olympic Games, the NBA season, and soccer’s Champions League, along with many other major tournaments, have been postponed. Wimbledon has been canceled for the first time since World War II. These cancellations and postponements go all the way down to recreational competitions.
Athletes are role models in society. Kids listen to what athletes say more than they listen to their parents; that’s a reality,” two-time NBA champion Pau Gasol said. “Let’s utilize that in a time of need like this one in order to send the right message, in order to do the right thing, in order to unite and bring the best out of people in a time of uncertainty and adversity. That’s a chance we have right now.
While people anxiously await the steady return of sports amid the pandemic, its role and meaning continues to change during these trying times and moving forward. Sports are more than entertainment. They are more than an escape from reality. They are a platform for change. A platform to further conversation. A platform to help, inspire, educate and guide.
Despite not training, training in a limited setting, or not being on the field playing in front of thousands as they normally would, athletes are utilizing this enforced break to not only focus on other things including their families, businesses and investments, furthering their education, and philanthropic efforts, but they are some of the main drivers behind the support, relief and education efforts around COVID-19.
Not only are individual athletes utilizing their platform to help those affected by the pandemic, but individual clubs are as well. FC Barcelona has agreed to sell the naming rights for the 2020-21 season to its famed Camp Nou for the first time in the venue’s history with proceeds going toward COVID-19 relief. Camp Nou, which was built in 1957, is the largest stadium in Europe with a capacity of more than 99,000.
All this is not at all to say that we want governments to loosen restrictions and resume sports competitions. Rather this is a reminder of why sports are valuable and also sorely missed by many people around the world.
