Throughout history Americans have turned to sports during difficult times.
Dr. Joel Fish, a licensed sports psychologist who has worked with athletes on all levels -- from NBA stars and Olympians, to children -- said that a world without sports is"very disruptive" to both athletes and fans.

"I looked the other day. I saw somebody. I saw, ‘Wow, he looks great.' I forgot. Then I said, ‘Oh, that was nine years ago.' ... You get tired of looking at 9-year-old baseball games and playoff games that took place 12 years ago," Trump told reporters."I don't have much time to do that, frankly, but that's what people are doing and they want to see sports."
The extent of the despair was particularly palpable in the barrage of social reactions from NCAA basketball players, especially seniors. Fish said that at the center of the struggle is a feeling of"loss" and part of his work with athletes, their parents and coaches is how to"come up with a game plan" to confront that loss and find"closure."
