Ah December – a lame month when it comes to being a sports fan.
I mean that’s not entirely true. Throughout December we continue to have the likes of the NHL, the NBA, Soccer and of course the NFL. It’s just lacking in a LOT of sports and there’s nothing too notable. Although there is of course the 2016 Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations – who ISN’T looking forward to that???
However here are what we’ve scrounged up in regard to notable sporting events for the month of December in 2016.
