VIDEO: Yankees Release Powerful Message to Unite All New York Sports Fans Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

We've seen practically every professional sports team share some moving video or message in response to the coronavirus pandemic, but the truth of the matter is that New York City has a special responsibility here. NYC has quickly transformed into the outbreak's foremost epicenter, leading the country in confirmed cases and deaths. The Yankees spearheaded an inspirational video on behalf of the city's many professional teams this morning, and it's a pretty amazing dose of leadership and unity.

The crux of the video reminds viewers of how the city handled the aftermath of 9/11, and that when NYC faces adversity, its people come back stronger. The second half of the video is what makes it so uplifting, showing footage of sports played around New York at all levels, and the joy that they can bring to so many.

The Yankees made sure to include every last one of "New York's teams." From the Buffalo Bills and Sabres to the New Jersey Devils, not one team was left out.

While this video doesn't directly heal any of the city's pain and suffering, it sends the message that its people will persevere and come out of this on top. No matter who they root for.
