The coronavirus has brought a new reality of self-isolation, recommended at-home lockdowns, and no group gatherings for people all over the world. This virus has had a major impact on the sports world that people are only starting to see the ramifications of. 

Sports networks like ESPN, NBCSN, FS1 and NFL Network have limited content to put out on a weekly basis. Networks are now turning to classic games to fill airspace with no live games being played. These networks are continuing to have their morning talk shows, but they are not the most entertaining with such limited content. ESPN has moved its five-part documentary about Micheal Jordan from its original June airing to late April, trying to attract viewers somehow. 

Various sports leagues and networks are doing all they can to give people a distraction during this difficult time. Below is a list of what you can watch if you are craving some sports entertainment.
