I hope a lot of you have other means to entertain yourselves for a while...

Sports just basically shut down completely.

The remaining three professional leagues and professional tennis shut down today.

NCAA is done, the conference tournaments shut down en masse and there's no way the main tournament is held.

People better get the concept that life as you know it is basically done.

It doesn't mean The End of the World, but it DOES MEAN The End of the World As We Know It.

You can now add all the Broadway theatres to the list.

I remember telling people back when this was just starting in China about how serious this had to be to shut down movie theatres and the like -- we're about to find all that out right here, and probably real damn soon now.

Opening Day is now pushed back at least two weeks for MLB.

More colleges, and for longer, are now going online-only.

WonderCon, San Diego Comic Con's smaller sister convention, is off.

They'll have another meeting in Tampa next week for Wrestlemania.

Disneyland has just closed.

I mean, this is stuff that just NEVER HAPPENS.

My anonymous friend and I were talking earlier today, and the last time we can think of a complete stop to all play in all the major sports leagues was part of the 1994 baseball strike, where MLB was the only league in season!
