The NBA has suspended the regular season, the XFL’s Seattle Dragons will play in an empty stadium, the NCAA Tournament will be played without fans and the Texas Rodeo has been cancelled for the first time since the 1930s.
Those are just some of the ways the spread of the coronavirus have impacted the world of sports, but the New York Giants have not seemed to notice.
Without missing a beat, the Giants have kept normal operations in place and as of Wednesday afternoon, there were no immediate plans for that to change.
While many NFL teams have pulled their scouts and personnel off the road, the Giants remain full-steam ahead, attending five different college Pro Days on Wednesday with more scheduled on Thursday.
In addition to their scouts, head coach Joe Judge, offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, outside linebackers coach Bret Bielema and others all remain on the road, engaged and evaluating ahead of the 2020 NFL Draft, which may be the next event to see major changes.
College teams are also beginning to alter their approach with many shutting out the media during Pro Day workouts and keeping person-to-person interaction at a minimum.
While the Giants have yet to make changes to their schedule or approach due to the worldwide pandemic, you can all but guarantee that will not remain the case for much longer.
