President Gavin Newsom 'not anticipating' normal NFL, college football games in the fall [View all]

The NBA, NHL and MLB would all be playing right now if not for the spread of COVID-19, and it now sounds like the NFL may be in jeopardy as well.

During a Saturday press conference, California Governor Gavin Newsom stated that he does not expect normal NFL or college football games to be played in front of full stadiums in the state of California later in the year.

"I'm not anticipating that happening in this state," Newsom said. "We've all seen the headlines over the last couple days in Asia where they opening up certain businesses and now they're starting to roll back those openings because they're starting seeing some spread and there's a boomerang. One has to be very cautious here, one has to be careful not to overpromise."
