151’2021 (2021-05-31) – … or is it still 2020?

Posted on by What did you learn in School today ?

Today, I learned about:

In a society that does not seem to be interested in protecting their citizens against lethal dangers, which is the new trend? Instead of using the year 2021, they keep on insisting to still use 2020, as if it did not already exist. Currently, there are at least three big sporting events that were cancelled in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and that just happened or are about to happen, and which keep 2020 in the name.

Please look at the following image. More information about the events can be found in references # 1, 2, and 3 below.

Three sporting events held in 2021, all with 2020 in their names, from left to right: The first one is from the European Aquatics Championships, which were held in Budapest earlier this month. The second one is the European Championships in Football, to be held in June and July in various countries over Europe, and the last one is from the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, scheduled to start on July 23, 2021.

That’s what I learned in school today!
