However, he also says it’s “nearly impossible” for teams to play without fans.

Let’s be honest: Our public health officers are much more hesitant and cautious than what we’ve seen in some states in the U.S. with allowing fans in the stands.
So with that, are we all left to trust the federal government’s promise of vaccines by the end of September? We were waiting for funding from the feds last year and now vaccines this year.
It’s at the point where I expect to start waking up to Sonny and Cher every morning.
