President Donald Trump held a conference call Saturday with leaders from 13 major sports leagues and shared his hope for the NFL season to start on time in September.
Trump echoed that sentiment at a later news conference where he said he wants all sports operating as soon as possible once the coronavirus pandemic subsides.
"I want fans back in the arenas," Trump told reporters at the news conference. "By whenever we're ready, as soon as we can. And the fans want to be back, too."
Trump reportedly said on the conference call that he wants fans to attend games again by August or September.
