- Professional sports have shut down during Covid-19 pandemic
- Trump has assembled panel of advisers from sports world
Donald Trump, a man not known for his patience, wants to get live sports back as soon as possible. The president made his comments during a White House press conference on Tuesday evening. Professional sports across America, and the world, have been shut down during the Covid-19 pandemic, and Trump said he was bored of watching repeats.
“We have to get our sports back. I’m tired of watching baseball games that are 14 years old,” he said. “But I haven’t actually had too much time to watch. I would say maybe I watch one batter then I get back to work.”
