How Important Are Fans to Sports?: Unchecked

Related Topics: ESPN, Don Heck

A new ESPN survey found that 65% of sports fans were in favor of sports returning even without fans in the stands.

You know what my survey says? Duh. Because if safety concerns were somehow alleviated, I’d imagine that number has to be close to 100%. And in fact, the aforementioned study did reference the number grew to 76% when participants were asked if they supported the return of sports with no fans if players were in a central location and contact with others was monitored. A scenario it seems the NBA, MLB and NHL are all at least considering.
