President Donald Trump said Saturday that executives of the leading professional sports operations are eager to resume operations that have been suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic.
"They want to get back," he said. "They have to get back. They can't do this. The sports weren't designed for it. The whole concept of our nation wasn't designed for it."
Trump held a conference call Saturday afternoon with the leaders of a number of major sports entities, including the NFL's Roger Goodell, the NHL's Gary Bettman and Major League Baseball's Rob Manfred.
