#JRNL3804 https://t.co/J0mw77zdB0 the top tier soccer league in Italy plans to individual practices again on May 4th. Pro sports teams will be able to practice together starting May 18th. This will impact teams like Juventes, AC Milan and Inter Milan

@carolinereid123 Seeing stories like this really reinforces the notion that sports are a global entity. It is wild that people in Italy are tweeting about something that happened to an American athlete in Florida

#JRNL3804 https://t.co/O9qjtvBWNO The Panamanian Baseball Federation plans to start the National Major Baseball Championship behind closed doors in August. The tournament was supposed to begin on March 12th

@SophiaDamianCU It is awesome to see that long held sports traditions like this are still happening despite the modernization of sport

[Sam Coniglio @sconi704]

@SophiaDamianCU It is not surprising at all that this tournament was cancelled/postponed. Seems like the only sporting news out there right now focuses on cancellations

#JRNL3804 https://t.co/lfxUn2Vsho the one championship will postpone all matches until May 29th at the earliest. Fighters from Myanmar were scheduled to compete in this tournament

@JoshMartelon Hi Josh, this is such sad news but it is great to see how much joy this athlete brought into peoples lives and the good he did for the world

[Sam Coniglio @sconi704]

@JoshMartelon It’s great that some athletes are using this time to hone their craft and get excited for the future. This is the perfect time to athletes to focus on the minute details that might be setting them back

#JRNL3804 https://t.co/SyHc4iGZIM With the postponement of the 2020 Olympic Games looming over the sporting world, China continues to push back the starting date of their sports. It also seems like the China National Games will be cancelled because they are before the Olympics

@EliseWerner3 I feel as if this is no surprise. It’s amazing that sporting events like the UFC are still happening at all. I guess the only surprise here would be how long it took them to suspend the season.

#JRNL3804 https://t.co/0GzYKHaLi1. The Boca Juniors won the 2019-2020 SuperLiga championship in recent days. They had legendary football coach Miguel Ángel Russo as their head bench coach and their president for the season was Juan Román Riquelme, both former footballers

@maddyjo53031619 It’s wonderful to see that Djolovic is still competing at such a high level within the tennis world. It must have been a great feeling for him to lead his home country to a victory in the tournament

https://t.co/Js469uOTXI Add the Barça-Napoli soccer match to the long list of sporting events and events in general that are either being cancelled or being closed off to fans due to the corona virus. Over 5,000 tickets have been sold to fans traveling from Italy #JRNL3804

[Sam Coniglio @sconi704]

@maddyjo53031619 It is great to see that the sumo league is taking the necessary precautions to make sure the spread of this deadly virus is stopped. This just goes to show that events like this are bigger than sports

#JRNL3804 https://t.co/XKMztr1t5U. The Hiroshima Carp plan on terminating the contract of 28 year old Xavier Batista who is serving a 6 month ban for doping. Last season he hit for .269, 26 HR and 64 RBI’s in 103 games. Those numbers might’ve been lower if not for the steroids

[Sam Coniglio @sconi704]

@maddyjo53031619 I believe that Manfred did not handle this situation well at all. Calling the World Series trophy “a piece of metal” and not punishing the players shows where his allegiance lies. He will probably hand out bigger punishments for the pitchers who plunk Altuve.

#JRNL3804 https://t.co/nFG5gti7IX. Last night was the heavily anticipated rematch of Wilder vs Fury. Fury beat wilder and became the WBC Heavyweight Champion of the world. Tyson fury has a record of 30-0-1

@maddyjo53031619 Reading this article makes it seem as if this business man would make the new league a sweeping success and would help Namibian sports altogether. I bet if this new league was ran well it would help the economy as much as it would help local sports.

#JRNL3804 https://t.co/dRB3km0ZOW. This article details a case between the Namibian Premier League and Normalisation Committee. These hearings were about the suspension of the NPL by the NC. They hope to get a ruling before February 22nd
