So, here we have it. An outbreak of swine flu has caused major problems for multiple sports at all levels.
In Texas, high schools have not only cancelled classes, but have been forced to postpone athletic events for a few weeks. Every level of soccer in Mexico, covering 176 matches, will be played without fans this weekend. That's got to cause quite a financial burden for some teams. The Nationwide Tour postponed the Mexico Open. It is planned to be rescheduled for later in the year. The NBA and MLB are also sending out information to all teams on things to look for and preventative measures.
It definately is a problem. That's the bottom line. From my point of view, it's better safe than sorry. All leagues, no matter how big or small, need to be looking out for their members and fans, taking whatever precautions they can until this thing calms down.
