Spring training and the opening of the Major League Baseball season canceled and no target date to resume. There have been some people, &#8220;Maybe, Rush, we could open 4th of July Major League Baseball.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, think it\u2019s been thrown out. Nothing official. The closest thing to official that we\u2019ve had from baseball is the Major League Baseball Players Association, the union &#8212; I think it was the union &#8212; suggesting that games be played in Arizona in empty spring training stadiums. How many of you think there will be Major League Baseball this year? Even if it\u2019s just a month or two, how many of you think that it will happen?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-344090\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-041420-Rush-Sports.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-041420-Rush-Sports.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-041420-Rush-Sports-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-041420-Rush-Sports-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They canceled Wimbledon. They have canceled the British Open golf tournament. The Augusta National Golf Club has not totally caved. They have rescheduled the Masters for November. The PGA, the USGA rescheduled the U.S. Open, I think, for September or October. I\u2019m not sure which. The PGA Championship, some professional golf tournament, the majors have been rescheduled. How many of you think &#8212; this is a big one &#8212; how many of you think there will be National Football League games this fall in stadiums with fans? Brian, you think there will be. Do you believe that organized team activities will happen this spring? Players showing up?<\/p>\n<p>Do you believe that there will be training camp for NFL teams opening in July and August as usual? You\u2019re shaking your head &#8220;no.&#8221; Do you think the Hall of Fame game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys will be played August 6th in Canton, Ohio, with fans in the stadium? August the 6th. (interruption) You do? Therefore you believe the NFL season will open on time with fans in the stands, fans in the stadium? (interruption)<\/p>\n<p>Now, Mr. Snerdley, a Cowboys fan, is nodding his head in agreement. You think that\u2019s going to happen? (interruption) Okay, good. Good, good, good, good. (interruption) I\u2019m not suggesting it\u2019s a matter of scaring anybody. I\u2019m sure they scared a lot of people. I\u2019m just asking, do you think it could happen? The question really is, is somebody gonna reopen this economy in time for these kinds of things to happen? You think yes. (interruption) Ah. There you have it. Mr. Snerdley says, &#8220;Probably opening next month.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some of the governors want to open, like Governor Cuomo wants to reopen. Some of these Northeastern liberals want to reopen. Just last week, &#8220;Oh, my God, oh, it\u2019s horrible, it\u2019s the worst, oh, my God.&#8221; Now they want to reopen less than a week later. What happened? They\u2019re out of money, folks. They\u2019re out of money. All right. So, let\u2019s see, what else? You think Wimbledon could change their mind and reopen, decide to replay, if there is a reopening of the &#8212; by the way, the U.K. &#8212; and I don\u2019t know how valid &#8212; the U.K., they may be shut down the rest of the year.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve had their people conditioned to stay home and watching Sky News all day for years anyway.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-344152 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-14-at-3.27.20-PM-e1586892531375.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"517\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You know, throw some Boy George videos up there and you can keep the U.K. population pretty much mollified and occupied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: How many of you think there will be Major League Baseball this year?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":344090,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Will Professional Sports Return This Year?
