NFL still planning on September start to season

The games must go on. At least that's the plan for now for the NFL.

NFL general counsel Jeff Pash said Tuesday on a conference call that the league is planning for a full season in 2020 despite the country -- and world -- currently being shut down because of the coronavirus outbreak.

“That’s my expectation,” Pash told reporters. “Am I certain? I’m not certain I will be here tomorrow. But I’m planning on it, and I’m planning on a full season.”

The NFL thus far has not pushed back any of its scheduled events, but the league is the only one of the four major North American leagues that is currently not in season.
