The Covid Health Risks for Sports Fans (BetOnline Fandemic)

Major League Baseball kicks off Thursday July 23 with games played both at home and on the road.  Only the poor Blue Jays it appears are without a home as Toronto won't let them back into Canada with the current surge in coronavirus cases in the USA.

The NBA, MLS and NHL will take place in bubble environments.  The later league will play in two Canadian hubs.

BetOnline sponsors the hit sports program Fandemic.
