Sports ceased to exist because of the world hunkered down during the coronavirus quarantine.
Each and every sporting event has been canceled. All the die-hard sports fans were suddenly cut off from the daily commentary, recaps, and games they love so much. Not only that, but even pro athletes are also self-isolating at the moment.
People around the world have been inventing their own games and other unique ways to exercise during self-isolation. Here are some of the creative games they’ve found.

People have start thinking outside the box. Attitude is everything, both in sports and in life. It says that we don’t need professional sports or a fancy gym to have fun.
