WASHINGTON D.C. — On a conference call with major league sports commissioners Saturday, President Trump said he believes the NFL season should start on time, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Nearly all sports have been shut down due to the novel coronavirus, and there is no current estimated date for them to restart.
The NBA was the first league to shut down on March 11 when Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.
