Sports leagues lay groundwork for return

NBA, NFL, and MLB officials all plan on addressing a return to normalcy in the coming months this week.

 

NBA commissioner Adam Silver is hosting an all-player conference call on Friday according to ESPN to address possible concerns while at least three teams plan on reopening their facilities this week. Due to Governor Tony Evers' Safer at Home Order, the Milwaukee Bucks will not be one of those teams.

 

ESPN's Jeff Passan also reports that MLB leaders plan on introducing plans to reopen to the players' association this week. The plans include a second spring training beginning in the middle of June with games beginning in July. Multiple ideas have been floated in the last several weeks, ranging from quarantining teams in their spring training facilities to more recently holding games at MLB parks in front of no fans.

 

The NFL released a number of different protocol teams must follow before they can safely reopen their facilities for the players. More towards the fan's interest, the league also announced an NFL-wide ticket refund policy for games either not played or for games set for empty stadiums.
