HBCU Rivalries: Norfolk State vs. Hampton University
If you're from Hampton Roads (aka the 757, bka the seven cities), you already know what it is. There's a rich and storied legacy of HBCU athletic excellence in the state of Virginia. Whether it's Richmond, Petersburg, Southern Virginia, or the Tidewater area, the presence of historically Black Colleges and Universities have left their indelible footprint on the sports of the state. More so, the culture surrounding these rivalries are a point of attraction and pride all by themselves. There's one rivalry that stands out as the de facto mono y mono grudge match in Virginia's Tidewater area; Hampton University vs. Norfolk State University. Most HBCU fans know the rivalry by another name:

Sports without fans
Close your eyes...can you smell it? The smell of popcorn, hot dogs, and cotton candy. Did it make you smile? I know it made me smile. Baseball season is here! I couldn't be more excited except for one thing. It isn't going to be the same all season. I watched opening night today..Yankees vs. Nationals...an incredible franchise vs the defending World Series Champions! The atmosphere should have been electric! It should have been memorable. Instead, I watched empty seats with the only noises being from the PA system. It is saddening because the city of Washington, D.C. had been waiting for opening day since their world title run. I have been to multiple baseball games and every experience has been memorable. From my father taking me to my first game to taking my fiance there for her first baseball game as a date. I even miss the prices for everything at the concession stands. ( I never thought I would miss paying $6.00 for a hot dog!) Obviously, health is more important than any of what I described should have happened. However, I can't help but miss the fans. I miss seeing their reactions, hearing their reactions, etc. It really shows how much fans mean to the game. It couldn't have been the same for the players also.

WE MISS FOOTBALL
The coronavirus is impacting all aspects of society across the world and the global sports industry is significantly affected. With the cancelation of games and leagues, many of us are struggling without football, because it genuinely stimulates a similar “love” feeling in each one of us. With the absence of football, we all still seem to reunite with each other through the love of sports. Famous football players have shared on their social media accounts many videos of them practicing or even fooling around, which kept the bond with the world even stronger; we are all in this together. From the replay of old games to online gaming, we all seem to manage to find a way to stay connected to football. However, something is still missing.
