• The first two countries to qualify for Qatar 2022 are Germany and Denmark, who join the hosts in the start of the 32-team field for a December, 2022 World Cup.
• On Opening Night of the NHL, with a new media partnership between ESPN and Turner, Gary Bettman announces only four players have been found unvaccinated in the entire league.
• Kyrie Irving has been placed on unpaid leave by the Brooklyn Nets until he vaccinates.
