Many professional leagues across the globe suspended their seasons and the impact on the amateur and youth sports industry was even more widespread and profound. In March 2020 alone, some 700 thousand youth athletes in the United States were unable to participate in scheduled events at a cost of 700 million U.S. dollars to the event organizers.
