Peter Vermes: "We've hit something that's much bigger than our games"

When Peter Vermes speaks, we listen.

The Sporting Kansas City Manager and Sporting Director joined Sports Radio 810 WHB this afternoon to discuss Major League Soccer's suspension due to COVID-19, what he believes is a reasonable timetable for return and how the club has reacted to the public health crisis as positively as possible.

In a candid and insightful interview with The Program host Soren Petro, Vermes acknowledged that while missing matches has proven to be a sad and frustrating experience, controlling the devastating impacts of the coronavirus pandemic should be everyone's top priority.

"There was a lot of (preparation) by the players and staff, and a lot of times I feel bad for them just because I know how hard they worked to get themselves ready to go," Vermes said.
