The Coronavirus Crisis
NHL Completes Season In Bubble; Tampa Bay Lightning Win Stanley Cup

Unlike the NHL and the NBA, the NFL has not adopted a «bubble» format and is traveling to various stadiums for games. However, all NFL games have been played either without in-person fans or at reduced capacity as a precaution.

Coaches and other staff are also required to wear face masks on the sideline during games, although some were fined for violating the rule. The NFL sent a memo Wednesday reminding all teams to adhere to the rule.

The memo said violations could result in suspensions, forfeiting draft picks and putting «the 2020 season at risk.»

The NHL finished its season on Monday and was the first of the four major North American pro sports leagues to crown a champion during the pandemic. The league carried out more than 33,000 coronavirus tests over the course of nine weeks and reported zero positive cases.
