COVID-19/JOE BIDEN/SPORTS: [Reporter: “Should there be sports right now though?”] “I think they should just follow the science. The one thing that seems to work a little bit, I don’t know, is basketball, where no one’s traveling. They’re all sequestered in one place…
When you have a lot of football players turning down eight, 10 million bucks a year and say, ‘I’m not going to take the risk of playing,’ You got to listen, you got to listen. So I’m not going to apply it on every sport. But it seems to me that when you have to travel, when you have to be in hotel rooms or places that are different than you’ve been the day before, when you are in a position where you’re going into an area where there is a high concentration of the spread of COVID, all those things add up to a real problem.”
