OPINION: COVID-disrupted 2020 sporting season reminded us sport is not an industry, but a way of life

The Australian team began a bumper year for women's sport with their Women's T20 World Cup win.

Any reminiscence of 2020 will begin with the eerie sight of games played in empty stadiums during that mid-March twilight zone when the pandemic had descended but we had not quite grasped its full implications. Yet, after huffing and puffing his way through government red tape, V'landys met his seemingly ludicrous May 31 relaunch date and was proclaimed saviour of his beloved "rugba league".In that context, it will seem grudging to mention the NRL's TV audience plummeted — at least partly because of the Brisbane Broncos' miserable season — and that the full impact of funding shortfalls due to renegotiated media rights deals are yet to be felt.
