I’ve heard a couple of announcers mention that today is the first time ever that all 4 of the major sports leagues are in action today. In addition there is a NASCAR race, NCAA football, MLS Soccer, and there was a PGA tour event scheduled but it was canceled due to rain. The New York City marathon was also ran today.
Has there ever been as many different sports in play at any time? I’m not counting the Olympics.
Here are some twitter comments that suggest it’s happened before. I haven’t fact-checked the dates mentioned. Here’s a link that expands the sports available today to include other leagues such as PGA and NASCAR, which are apparently also active today.
In a rare case the main PGA tour event was canceled this week , they had too much rain to even play 36 holes. First cancellation since 96. The PGA lower level and senior tour probably still had tourneys.
