With Americans growing increasingly desperate to see some form of organized sports on their flatscreen TVs, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a lead voice on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, offered some discouraging comments for all those hoping that America’s most popular sport is coming back in full force in fall. Football presents “the perfect set up for spreading,” says Fauci. But the infectious disease expert is also throwing fans a little hope, suggesting that it might be possible not only to have some version of a football season, but some games might even feature fans in stadiums.
In an interview with NBC’s “Football Morning in America” published Monday, Fauci told Peter King that as much as America is clamoring for football to return as scheduled, in the end, “The virus will make the decision for us.”
