COVID-19 and the Revival of Sport Nostalgia

For this paper you are to review and analyze the revival of sport histories during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, answer the following questions for your paper.

1. Why do replays of classic games, sport debates, and other nostalgic sport coverages make us feel good as sport consumers/fans?

2. COVID-19 has made sport media rely on past clippings of games and sport interviews because no sports are happening right now. Do you think this influx of sport nostalgia is working to “pacify” our desire for sport to come back? Why or why not?

3. Reflect on your own experiences since the COVID-19 outbreak and what nostalgic sport medias you have consumed. How did they make you feel? Why did you choose to watch them? If you haven’t watched any sport throwbacks, then how do you think others have felt?

4. How do you feel about people pushing for sports to come back? Do you feel it is rushed or no? Explain.
