It is a tumultuous time for professional sports in the United States. The NBA, NHL and MLB are all shuttered due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the future of the NFL remains someone uncertain. Teams have tiptoed through the offseason to this point, next up being a heavily modified version of the NFL draft.
President Trump did a call with the heads of all major sports leagues on Saturday and when the topic of the NFL came up, Trump was optimistic with many caveats.
