Well they still played baseball during the 1917 and 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. Go figure.

Supposedly, the Boston Red Sox playing in the 2018 World Series was to blame for 5,000 Boston residence dying from the Spanish Flu in late 2018.

The 1918 college football season was cut in half.

A surprising third wave of Spanish Flu cancelled the last 1919 Stanley Cup final games. No champion was declared.
