Written Option: The NSFL is currently the only operating major sports league in the United States. Write 200 words or more on what you would do if the NSFL decided to suspend the season. What would you and your team do to pass the time (and still practice safe social distancing)? How would your player feel about the lost season?
And so it had come to this. The end of the season as they knew it. The Seawolves were cheered by the thought they were doing well so far this season but disheartened that the season had come so abruptly to a close. But the Seawolves, like most of the players in the NSFL, were resilient, and knew there was really no other option; social distancing was the main way that they could curtail the spread of the virus, and so with heavy hearts but with resolve, the Seawolves isolated themselves in their houses with their families for the foreseeable future.
However, all was not lost. The Seawolves were known for their public service and dedication to helping others. The entire defensive line took up grocery deliveries to the nursing homes and elderly population of Norfolk. The O-line started a pen-pal system where players could write emails or letters to bored children around the nation. The wide receivers, safeties, and tight ends started a food drive to feed families out of work, and the cornerbacks that were tech wizards volunteered to help out those who had difficulties connecting to their families online. Finally, Luke Skywalker, the Seawolves quarterback, went back to work as a professor/scientist, helping his teammates and working with others to find a potent vaccine against COVID-19.
The season was over. There was no doubt about that. But the NSFL spirit was not, and as the Norfolks worked to help their neighborhood, other teams took on the example of the Seawolves, and built up their cities, states, and nations to do good for others and better the world.
