Despite Trump’s optimism, lack of US sports could extend into the fall (via nytimes)

Although President Donald Trump has expressed optimism that sports leagues could resume play “sooner than later,” sports leaders have been planning for a longer postponement of games and events, extending into the fall and possibly later.

“I want fans back in the arenas,” he said at the White House, adding, “As soon as we can, obviously.’’ The NFL, which is scheduled to conduct its annual draft from April 23-25 by videoconference, has said it is focused on not altering the regular season, which is scheduled to begin Sept. 10. But some team owners say there is a good chance the international games in London and Mexico City will be moved back to the United States, and one owner raised the possibility that the season could be reduced from 16 games to as few as 10.

The NBA and NHL, which were deep into their 2019-20 seasons before they were suspended last month, may be unable to finish their seasons because the cities they play in have restrictions on nonessential travel and because of the difficulty of acquiring enough test kits to ensure the safety of the players, team staffs and workers in arenas.
