“Sports are like the reward of a functioning society,' Sean Doolittle says.
That’s Washington Nationals relief pitcher Sean Doolittle, speaking to reporters Sunday on the possibility of playing in front of fans at some point this season, while the coronavirus pandemic rages.“We’re trying to bring baseball back during a pandemic that’s killed 130,000 people,” Doolittle said Sunday, according to a transcript from Washington Post sports reporter Jesse Dougherty. “We’re way worse off as a country then we were in March when we shut this thing down.
iframe.twitter-tweet { width: 100% !important; } A number of U.S. pro sports leagues, including Major League Baseball, are preparing to resume play, and some baseball team owners have suggested a limited number of fans could be allowed into stadiums to watch games before the season’s over. Doolittle said he didn’t know if it was safe for stadiums to open to fans. “I’m not a public health expert, but we should probably defer to them on some of these issues,” he said.
Doolittle mentioned how the Nationals still have not gotten the PPE gear they were promised, including N95 masks and gloves, and noted he still hasn’t gotten the results of a coronavirus test he took Friday.
