WASHINGTON—President Trump is pushing for live sports in America to end their coronavirus hiatus “soon, very soon,” part of a broader push by the president to get the country back to normal life in the face of opposition that the suggestion is dangerous and premature.
The president spoke Saturday afternoon by telephone with league commissioners, in a call that was intended to focus on leagues’ and teams’ roles as employers, but which veered into a discussion of a resumption of the sports calendar that was abruptly ripped up...
Who actually cares what he wants? Athletes no doubt want to get back to playing, and as soon as it's safe, it's in everyone's interest that it should happen. This is just more of the usual bloviating nonsense.
With NO audience, that’s fine.
Sounds like a heavy risk of assets for owners along with exposure to the virus and litigation
You first, 45.
The virus has its own schedule. --Dr. Fauci
good -- let's get all the Trump supporters in stadiums in late summer, get 'em good & sick (which they deserve for saddling us with Trump) and then have the election.....
CA governor, to his credit, is against allowing sports gatherings, games this coming Fall. Would think it would be difficult to keep fans away from stadiums, or stadium parking lots for tailgate parties. There is no vaccine and the virus may return in the Fall per Fauci.
THERE ARE PEOPLE IN HELL WANTING ICE-WATER, MR. PRESIDENT! If it isn't safe, and most of us realize that it ISN'T, then nobody is going to buy tickets & take the risk!
RedStateBlues_ And I want pots of gold at the end of rainbows and unicorns in every backyard, but there you go....
“Bread and circuses”
The downfall.
We all would like that to happen and MORE!!! WHATS WRONG WITH THAT?
I think that’s too dangerous for our athletes. - We can all wait it out together.
During a call with Saint Peter, Mr. Trump promised that come Easter everyone will be in church worshipping Saint Peter’s boss.
Why is this guy pushing for anything at this moment? Priority one should be stopping COVID19
Now he's off his rocker...lol. Sports won't be the same for..maybe forever. But its a ways off.
Because the emperor must be entertained regardless of the danger. Reinforcing the lack of connection to other people.
Need some circus with that bread
Yesss, bring them back. We have to make a few bets!
meanwhile:
Wisconsin Democratic Primary, the death march of the cheeseheads.
Trumps Banana Republic - Welcome to the new Venezuela! TrumpResignNow TrumpGenocide TrumpDeathToll
somebody plz tell him it took 15 y ears to recover from the Hoover Depression and the Trump Depression is on mark to be twice as bad. u cant just turn this back on....
As Trump wishes Wsj
so fuking stupid
Why can’t we have like two people compete in something non-contact? Tiger vs. Phil again. Idk. We need SOMETHING.
For sports to reconvene without fans by Aug is possible. And logical. We need to start building back society in the near future to begin normal life. If athletes are tested, restrictions placed, and follow social distancing protocols, this can happen. Step in the right direction.
The US president still thinks about his next presidency even in the most difficult time of pandemic.

Since when does a president involve himself in the decisions of sports leagues?
Yes I can’t wait to be crammed into a seat next to sweaty guys at a baseball game.
I'm not sure NASCAR will ever care to go back to live racing. It looks like they've been getting more viewership with simulated racing events. Maybe he'll catch the Bristol event tomorrow, become convinced everything is back to normal and back off from this.
The president chooses to not have educated handlers around him. The data coming from the academic economic community and research scientists et al. has covid19 going out to summer 2021 !! PS Luv Dr Fauci !!
Fuck trying to keep everyone healthy
I would go to an Iowa game today. With 70 thousand of my friends. Go. Hawks.
F-it. Solve the ONLY real problem first and the fans can't wait to get back.
So now he’s trying to kill the athletes, too? COVIDIOT
He can have my tickets.
Trump needs to get his priorities straight during this pandemic
Where are Trump's children? Are they volunteering in the front lines? Probably not. Trump's family line is known for being traitors. They were banned for eternity from Germany.
Good!
He’s a GD lunatic. I’m not going to a stadium or a concert until there is a vaccine for this monster - and by monster I mean both Trump and the virus.
The show must go on? When your mother,father,brother,sister, child,member of family, Doctor, nurse,police officer, first responder, neighbours, would you go to be Entertained.
How long are we going to cower? We need to get America going!BeAmericaAgain! realDonaldTrump
If the month of August doesn't go well, too bad for America, for having defeated a mid-sized war.
Bring out the lions and the Christians, the populace is bored
Good. Let's fucking go.
He doesn’t decide that. MLB won’t field teams without an end to infectious spread. Nor will public congregate. Blowhard.
Farcical. People are not going to resume even a sense of normal activity (and certainly not go to an NFL game) until they feel safe, secure, and confident they aren't taking inordinate risks to themselves and their families. Trump makes nobody feel safe and secure.
It must! If the leagues wait until people can attend games we really might not have sports until baseball season 2021 when a vaccine will most likely be available
Uh oh. Looks like Trump just got off the phone with a team owner. Trump is an idiot. He has no understanding of the pandemic.
