(ESPN) President Donald Trump said he thinks college football would be making a “tragic mistake” if the sport is not played this fall.
Appearing Tuesday morning on Fox Sports Radio, Trump cited the youth and overall health of college players as factors that will help them avoid the most serious symptoms of the coronavirus.
“These football players are very young, strong people, and physically, I mean they’re physically in extraordinary shape,” Trump said in the interview. “So they’re not going to have a problem, you’re not going to see people, you know, could there be? Could it happen? But I doubt it.
