What a difference a year makes. I’d love to go back to 2019, when everyone alive was blissfully ignorant of COVID-19 and a world without sports. But as soon as the clock struck 2020 on New Year’s Eve, everything started to go wrong. Of course, people turned all of the scary 2020 stuff into a joke: WW3 memes, coronavirus memes, toilet paper memes, murder hornet memes, 2020 Bingo Card memes…the list goes on.
The world is a different place in 2020. It’s a world where we often hear the words “social distancing” and “hand sanitizer” and “Zoom calls.” Twitter user Adam Aston (@adamgreattweet) recently asked his followers, “What’s something you’ve said in the past six months that would make no sense to someone in 2019?” and the responses are pretty funny…but also sad at the same time.
