The professional sports leagues seem optimistic about things returning to normal in the coming months . . . and Major League Baseball is even talking about starting NEXT MONTH, although without fans.

And THAT . . . fans going to sporting events . . . might NOT get back to normal anytime soon.


According to a new survey, 72% of Americans said they would NOT consider attending a sporting event until there's a vaccine for COVID-19, and most experts say that can't happen until early NEXT year . . . IF everything goes smoothly.

12% said they'd go to a game if social distancing could be maintained . . . and only 13% said they'd feel safe attending, in a crowd of tens of thousands of people, just like they did before.

In the same survey, 74% of Americans thought it was possible, likely, or very likely that all sports would be canceled for the rest of this year.

Of course, attitudes can easily change . . . especially if the virus fades away in the summer, and people start seeing others embracing sporting events.
