There was a notion of shock when I heard about the blast that took place on the Boston Marathon. Stunning. Shocking. Jaw-dropping, even. I haven't even watched the clips yet and it's freaking me out.
Repercussions have been felt far and wide in the sports world. Security protocol has been reviewed for all sports events in different facilities. The London Marathon will go on as scheduled, though.
The Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League, who were to host the Senators that night, postponed their match.
The NBA has decided to cancel the Celtics-Pacers match altogether, a first in the history of the NBA since going on the 82-game schedule. It is important to note that there is no seeding implications with both teams, as Celtics are fated to face the Knicks, while the Pacers are locked in as the 3rd seed.
The Boston Red Sox, as always on Patriot Day, schedule their game on this day earlier than normal, so the explosion took place after the conclusion of their 3-2 win over Tampa. They were on the way to the airport, as they were to fly to Cleveland that night for their series with former Red Sox manager Terry Francona and the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field.
Hope those perpetrated this dastardly act will be dealt with, accordingly.
