After the tragic bombing at the Boston Marathon on Monday, administrators across the country are taking measures to heighten security at their own sporting events.
Added police presence and bomb-sniffing dogs have been seen at sports venues, and officials assure their fans that they are taking all available precautions. The MLB and NBA issued statements on their security measures in recent days and continue to work with local authorities and law enforcement.
There are no plans to cancel upcoming sporting events expected to draw large crowds, such as the such as the Kentucky Derby and the Daytona 500. Instead, they are increasing security and taking all available precautions.
Boston is resilient. America is resilient. And as we mourn over the tragedy that happened on Monday, sports give us the chance to come together and show that we are #BostonStrong.
