Fauci Says 'There's A Way' For Sports To Return. Here's How.



As I read this, maybe he, the traitor was watching reruns over and over again, of how one particular team manager was banging garage lids to give the runners a sign on what the catcher was doing with the signals to the pitcher.................and then they won the World Championship with two teams he managed, and he probably thought to himself damn wish I could have thought of that, lets bring them into the White House............and have talk...................

Dr. Fauci explained there (with all the testing, handwashing, sanitizers, required for each team & officials with masks).

It's the 21st Century and 4K TVs + online streaming exist!
