Michigan Gov. Whitmer says sports fans ‘not going to be filling stadiums in the fall’

[FOXNEWS] Sports fans in Michigan who are expecting a return to normal in the months ahead from a coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
shutdown received some disappointing news Tuesday from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

...Her Excellency, the dictator of Michigan, 2020 Dem VP contender...
"Life’s going to be different," Whitmer said, referring to the state’s eventual emergence from her virus-response order. "We’re not going to be filling stadiums in the fall."

That appeared to be bad news for fans of the NFL’s bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
Lions, as well as college football teams in the state, such as the Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans.

Whitmer’s remarks came during an interview on Detroit radio station WKQI-FM, according to the Detroit Free Press.

#4 Interestingly, don't yet know about football for this fall but at least as regards re-opening the colleges, there's a semi-strong correlation thus far with political proclivities of the governor.

State flagships that have signaled or even announced formally that they intend to re-open this far include those in:

- Indiana: Purdue (Pres. Mitch Daniels)
- Texas: A&M, Texas Tech, UTEP (res. Heather Wilson, formerly Sec'y of the Air Force)
- Tennessee: UT, also Middle Tennessee St.
- N. Carolina state university system
- N. Dakota system
- U. Alabama system
- U. Florida system
- West Virginia U.

Considering re-opening, likely to announce soon: Ohio State, Wake Forest

Care to guess who announced they will definitely NOT be open, instead either totally or largely online?
- California State University system: all 23 campuses closed this fall, online only
- U. California system: none of 10 campuses will re-open fully; all will rely heavily if not primarily online, per UC spokesperson Tuesday
- Harvard: will be mainly online

Gee, I wonder which way the lefty U. Michigan administration will go... Do they realize that Ohio State's academic reputation is soaring and will soon catch up to and surpass Michigan's?
