This is about as good of news as you’re going to get when it comes to sports during the coronavirus pandemic. I realize 4th of July weekend is about two months away, and a lot can change between now and then.
Obviously, the situation during the coronavirus pandemic is incredibly fluid. Having said that, I think we can all agree this is a positive update.

Right now, the only sport happening is the UFC. That’s awesome, we love Dana White for it and we’re going to keep watching.
However, I think we can all agree that we want all our sports back. We don’t just want one. Baseball returning would restore a lot of confidence to the American public, and doing it on the 4th of July weekend would be a very symbolic victory.
