Memory Lane: Preseason

 

     It seems like preseason games are quickly becoming a thing of the past.  Leagues have reduced, or scrapped their preseason games due to the pandemic, or for other various reasons.  The NFL (National Football League) did not have any preseason games this season, and the NHL (National Hockey League) is not scheduling any preseason games either.  Even college teams seem more willing to cancel non-conference games.  

     I wonder if preseason games will eventually become a distant memory in all sports.  The players can sometimes seem unfamiliar to even the most hardcore fans, and the games usually lack excitement, and intensity.  Another drawback to preseason games is the fact that leagues usually charge full price for tickets.  There's also a high risk for players to get injured in games that don't even count in the standings.  

     MLB (Major League Baseball) is still planning on holding Spring Training for the 2021 season.  The NBA (National Basketball Association) did play a reduced preseason schedule this season.  The Detroit Pistons finished the 2020-2021 NBA preseason with an overall record of 2-2.

-  A Spring Training game in baseball is similar to a preseason game.

-  A friendly game in soccer is similar to a preseason game.  

-  An exhibition bout in boxing is similar to a preseason game.   

-  A charitable sporting event can be similar to a preseason game.
