The Environmental Impact of No Sports During the Pandemic
The shutdown of major league sports teams and seasons during the COVID-19 pandemic has left sports fans across the U.S. sad. However, a recent study on the National Hockey League (NHL) shows the pandemic’s impact on sports, the environment and the leaders on the industry overall.
No sports has meant a devastating new reality for Americans. However, while fans are sad they are unable to congregate to watch their teams and many players are disappointed they will not be able to play in front of an audience, the shutdown of sports industries—especially the National Hockey League—has had some notable effects on the environment and overall carbon emissions.
The pandemic has had many impacts on the environment and global warming, but it is hard to label any of them “good” or “bad” given the overall situation and threat to public health. However, the postponement of the NHL has had undeniable impacts on the environment, and the impacts will be hard for future NHL leaders to ignore.
Since the NHL has been postponed, the NHL has reportedly prevented 200 tonnes of CO2 in carbon emissions, according to the NHL Emissions Report.
As the NHL says itself, its annual impact on the environment is massive: “The NHL features one of the biggest carbon footprint in world sport, with the NHL Emissions Report revealing that it produced more than 1,430 tonnes CO2 in carbon emissions in 2019 in travel to and from away fixtures, but recent development show just how the global lockdown has had a positive effect on the environment.”The results of the report revealed the NHL’s overall change in emissions, but it also points out each team’s impact on the situation. The report shares that “latest research shows that due to the games postponed by the league—which started on March 12—means that 206t CO2 has been saved from being spread into the environment by the 31 teams in the NHL, after calculating the average CO2 produced by each side in their remaining fixtures.”
What does that mean exactly? Sometimes, it’s helpful to see visual comparisons:
