Life has been turned upside down by all the measures and policies put in place to help curb the spread of the novel Coronavirus. Part of that means something that’s baked into the very fabric of our nation has been put on the shelf. If you are missing the void left by the absence of sports to keep an eye on and watch, you are not alone.
But what the country and world is going through is much bigger than competing on the field. We are in a health crisis, and it seems like each day brings new challenges, roadblocks and bad news.
Ohio State football is also taking break, but that didn’t stop head coach Ryan Day from sharing some words of encouragement for Buckeye Nation. He took to Twitter to offer some words of advice and encouragement.
“Good morning Buckeye Nation,” said Day. “We are in a health crisis as all of you know and unprecedented times. I just wanted to give a message to everybody to let them know that we’re in this thing together. And although a lot of us and our loved ones are going to be affected by this physically, mentally, and financially, that we are in this thing together. And at times like this, this is when we need to come together more. And even though we may be in kind of isolation or quarantine, Buckeye Nation is strong and we’re going to get through this together. And I wanted to say thank you to all the medical professionals out there who are doing everything they can to support those who need it. Also, as much as we can help those who are vulnerable right now, I think we need to that — especially the elderly. I think it’s important and they need our support. But the health and the wellness of everybody right now is of utmost importance — and please adhere to all the guidelines our government has set forth. We need to take this very seriously, and with that, we’re going to get through this thing together. Go Bucks!”
