he's asking them to make arrangments to play

empty or sparsely occupied stadiums

constant testing, might even wear masks


the Country needs a sense of normalcy FDR asked baseball and football to continue in WW2 because just like in ancient Rome the common folk need their Circuses

I doubt trump is gonna push for the leagues to cancel. In fact I expect the opposite.

As he realizes shelter in place writ large will have to go on a lot longer than expected, he wants to get sports back up and going so people will be distracted

Well, no one is talking about the Astros anymore or even Tom Brady in Tampa. It's crazy how much sports have taken a back seat to all this.

We may never even see Brady take another snap. Crazy to think about how much things have changed in the last month.
