New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Monday morning that he's been encouraging sports franchises in the state to resume playing, with restrictions, if their leagues reopen during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I also have been encouraging major sports teams to plan reopenings without fans. But the games could be televised, New York state will help those major sports franchises to do just that," he said. "Hockey, basketball, baseball, football—whoever can reopen, we're a ready, willing and able partner. Personal disclosure: I want to watch the Buffalo Bills."
