Summary: The worldwide epidemic known as COVID-19 or the Coronavirus has debilitated whole countries and posed a serious threat to the United States, let alone the sports world. Acclaimed journalist Jane McManus, New York Daily News sports columnist and Director of Marist's Center for Sports Communication, has been covering the impact that the coronavirus has affected sports. At the time of this release (March 11, 2020), a major tennis tournament has been canceled, as well as a few college basketball post-season conference tournaments. Furthermore, the NBA, NHL, MLB, and MLS have altered media access to locker rooms as one response. This is an ongoing story, and perhaps some facts have been changed as time passes. Please know that there will be follow-ups as news warrants.
