California Gov. Gavin Newsom indicated Monday that sporting events could soon be allowed to take place within the state:
“Pro sports in that first week or so of June without spectators and modifications and very prescriptive conditions also can begin to move forward…if we hold these trend lines in the next number of weeks,” Newsom said.
It was a start difference from what he said previously that outlines a four-stage plan for re-opening the state from its stay-at-home restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic. It wasn’t until stage 3 of the plan that included sports without a live audience, while Stage 4 would feature sports with fans back in attendance.
So, his comments on Monday really shocked a bunch of folks, but not Richard Sherman.
The San Francisco 49ers took to Twitter and called out the governor for changing his mind due to money.
