As wildfires continue to rage across Los Angeles, significant disruptions have occurred in the sports sector. The NFL has made the decision to relocate the upcoming wild-card playoff game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Rams from SoFi Stadium to State Farm Stadium in Arizona due to safety concerns. This move follows the postponement of games for both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Kings, with Lakers coach JJ Redick reportedly losing his home in the fires. The situation has prompted the NFL to monitor air quality and evaluate contingency plans, affecting various games and events across the area.
