The threat of the coronavirus has already had a profound impact on the sporting world. In Italy, all sporting events have been canceled until at least April 3. A Champions League game in Paris will be played before an empty stadium. The start of the Japanese baseball season has been delayed. And here in the United States, the BNP Paribas Open in Southern California has been called off.
