France cancelled soccer until September
Rugby League is expected to be back on in Australia on 28 May.
I have worked with a few Americans and Canadians who have picked it up easily and sometimes become fans while working out here.
The NRL has lots of highlight packages where you can see how familiar the skills are for US football fans.
Charlotte NASCAR race May 24th will be held with no fans.
Some major tennis stars are playing a computer tennis tournament online. Eurosport has all(?) of it on their youtube, entirely free.

How about a virtual Kentucky Derby with simulations of historic champion horses?: Secretariat Slight Favorite in Virtual Kentucky Derby - BloodHorse
Little league world series cancelled for the first time.
Thanks for the heads-up. This will be the first Kentucky Derby Day in years that I won’t be at my local track, wagering on local racing and the Derby, so I’ll look forward to this. Thanks again!
The Atlanta Track Club postponed the Peachtree Road Race - the world’s largest 10K - from July 4th to Thanksgiving Day. I’m surprised they’ve waited this long, but as a friend pointed out, the Peachtree accounts for about 85% of the ATC’s yearly revenue.

For example, who would have known that carousing on motorbikes, taking potshots at beer cans and posting selfies on Facebook were apparently traditional indigenous cultural events?
Formula 1 hopes to return in early July with Austria grand prix.

I guess you can record them and watch at a normal time.
Reported.
AFL (Australian Rules) starts again for Round 2.
Thursday night, cold by our standards so the heater is going full on, with a big screen TV, a decent bottle of red and two teams I loathe (Richmond & Collingwood) playing … almost as good as it gets.
