President Donald Trump said Saturday he believes professional sports can resume "sooner rather than later" and that arenas and stadiums will eventually be filled with fans attending games once the nation's health improves from the deadly coronavirus pandemic. Trump made the comments after speaking on a conference call with commissioners from most major sports, including the NFL, Major League Baseball, the NBA and NHL.
Trump said at his Saturday briefing at the White House that the fans "want to get back, they've got to get back, too, they want to see basketball, baseball football and hockey. They want to see their sports. They want to go out onto the golf courses and breath nice, clean, beautiful fresh air."
Trump said he wouldn't predict when pro sports can resume.
