Description
To discuss sports re-opening plans, Raju Mudhar is joined by Dave Feschuk, sports columnist at the Toronto Star. This past weekend, UFC 249 took place there, with zero spectators, 1 fighter testing positive for the virus, as well as two of his cornermen, who were pulled from the event, but that didn’t stop things. There are more bouts scheduled. The other major sports leagues are also cautiously trying to find their way back to some kind of re-opening. Are these the first actual steps to sports re-opening? Or is this just wishful thinking on the part of all the stakeholders that see the current seasons—and their bottom lines—evaporate?
