Sports change life like we never knew it could

COVID-19 as more or less taken away everything I love in life. Going out to restaurants / bars and watching sports.
Now that I can't go out to eat with my friends and family I am forced to learn how to cook for myself. The closest thing to going out I have during this time is when I get to go to the grocery store once a week. Which upon arrival I tend to have to wait in line outside because of capacity regulations to maintain social distancing.
While not being able to go out to eat may be bad, I think a life with sports and no restaurants is considerably better than vice versa. Sports simply put is just another form of entertainment. Arguably the best entertainment us Americans have. Not only is there something to watch every day, there are so many news stories that come from each league/team/industry/sports media company. With all sports leagues being put on hold for now, these sports media companies like ESPN or Barstool Sports have their best source of content creation gone. In addition to sports media companies being hurt by all sports being put on hold, casinos and sports books are being hurt even more. They are seeing no income and won't see any income for the foreseeable future.
This is the longest amount of time in the history of life that sports have been cancelled for. The only league that has a set plan for the future is the PGA which posted a schedule for the rest of their season, noting it is subject to change.
So if I can ask anything out of the other sports leagues out there it would be: Be more like the PGA. Give us fans some form of hope. Be transparent about your plans like the PGA. Sports media companies need content. Sports books need content. I can't continue to watch reruns of classic sports games I already know the outcome to.

Top 10 IPA's for Real Bros

Here is my ranking of my favorite 10 IPA's right now. Just want to say the last 5 are all so dank it was really difficult to chose the order of those. Much love to all these brews. All these have some fire power, drink r esponsibly . 10 - Lagunitas IPA Lagunitas IPA ABV - 6.2% $ - 12oz 6 Pack Bottles $10.99 Lagunitas IPA, a classic west-coast style brew. Beer Advocate describes the flavors as "orange reflections. Scent of malt, bread and honey, citrus fruits, herbaceous hopping." My take on Lagunitas is that it is another IPA that is not amazing but it will not let you down. Solid brew but not my first choice. 9 - Goose Island IPA Goose Island IPA ABV - 5.9% $ - 12oz 6 Pack Bottles $10.49 Goose IPA is a pretty standard IPA. It is available mostly everywhere. In my experience, this is the only IPA I have seen sold at golf events on the PGA Tour. Pretty standard IPA here, it sure wont wow you, but it doesn't let you down. 8 - Vo

Best Mobile Marketing Practices

Current Trends in Mobile Marketing Location - Register your business/product with Google so you can appear on maps searches as well as google searches on mobile. Location data on apps is key for sending users push notifications and send out promo codes to encourage a sale that may not have happened otherwise. Apps - businesses making apps is great for collecting user data. It is also a good way to increase revenue with rewards systems. An example of this would be the Starbucks app. On their app you can load money on to the app and you get stars for each purchase. After a certain amount of stars you are eligible for a free menu item. Location data is used here. Upon arriving in a certain distance from a Starbucks Location the app can send you a push notification which will promote the use of their app further.
