Public Radio Listeners & Staff Creating New Sports For Uninterrupted Play During Pandemics Like Covid-19

With one report of the average weekly listeners being over 19 million, why not create a program for listeners to solve the global challenge of playing sports uninterrupted during pandemics like Covid-19 to help the world with emotional, physical, and economic wellbeing? It can be done. Do an internet search for: "New Gender-Neutral Sports That Keep Players Separate." These New sports should 1. Keep players separate at least 6 feet. 2. Have no head or hand contact with shared equipment. 3. Be adaptable for those with a disability. Consider that two schools in Massachusetts had a recent teachers' strike keeping home over 13,000 students. If each student worked just one hour on creating a new sport, that would have been over 1 year project time in just one day. If only 100,000 Public Radio Listeners and Staff out of the more than 19 million worked on creating new sports, that would be over 11 years of project time in just one day. Society missed the opportunity to create these new sports during the 1918 Spanish Flu and the 2005 Bird Flu. Then in 2020, Covid-19 showed the world why these new sports are needed to allow society to be together in physical activity while maintaining social distance. It can be done. The hope is that society will create these new sports and or modify current sports before the next pandemics like Covid-19.
