Donald Trump Tweets About NFL's Return Amid COVID-19 After Dr. Fauci's Comments

President Donald Trump addressed Dr. Anthony Fauci's comments on the feasibility of playing football in the fall.

"Tony Fauci has nothing to do with NFL Football," Trump tweeted. "They are planning a very safe and controlled opening. However, if they don’t stand for our National Anthem and our Great American Flag, I won’t be watching!!!"

While the NFL has begun opening its facilities for voluntary workouts, the league has not made any formal plans for the 2020 season public. The league is currently moving forward with plans as they would in a typical season, though they are requiring teams to stay at their home facilities for training camp.
