It seems President Donald Trump is desperate for the return of new matches and games.

“We have to get our sports back,” Trump said. “I’m tired of watching baseball games that are 14 years old.”

The NBA shut down all operations on March 11 after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the virus. Soon, many other sports leagues followed.

Trump may not have his desires fulfilled as league commissioners don’t seem to think of resuming. They feel that the safety of their players is important. They were, however, considering playing with no fans.

Trump might get some entertainment from NBA teams and other leagues in Florida

Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who is an ardent Trump ally, issued an executive order. According to Jared Moskowitz, the state coordinating officer for the Florida Division of Emergency Management,

“Employees at a professional sports and media production with a national audience, including any athletes, entertainers, production team, executive team, media team and any others necessary to facilitate including services supporting such production, fall under ‘essential.'”

The announcement also opened the door for World Wrestling Entertainment. Another Trump friend, Vince McMahon runs the WWE league. The live broadcasts of events should resume on Monday from an Orlando studio facility.

DeSantis explained his thought process. He suggested wrestling matches, NASCAR races, and even heads-up golf matchups.

 He said at the press conference in Tallahassee on Tuesday, “People have been starved for content.”

WWE may resume soon, however, the same seems unlikely for team games such as the NBA or the NFL. Team games bring many people together. From 10 to 12 players on the team itself, to coaches and support staff, etc. We’re sure the WWE must also require more people than just the competitors.

We feel that considering the major pandemic going around, having to watch 14-year-old matches should be the least of one’s concerns, especially when one’s country is struggling.
