Sports fans in Michigan who are expecting a return to normal in the months ahead from a coronavirus shutdown received some disappointing news Tuesday from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

“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 Detroit 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.

These progressive libtard Gov’s are in for a rude awakening. The political backlash will be felt far and wide in this election year. Keep it up mofos, keep it up.

Careful. People may discover that they can live without professional sports.

I agree. You start taken peoples sports away in the fall, attendance-wise and you’ll get a huge backlash even from blue check voters

Anyone else notice that during her latest fascist word vomit session, she was smiling when she spewed the the worst news, ie the numbers allegedly infected and dead?

Not quite right in the head.

Where are the recall petitions?

Solely a bald-faced attempt to keep Donald Trump from holding Michigan rallies.

Man is this bitch in for a rude surprise. The NFL is going to tell her to get back in the kitchen and make a sammich.

Well, good luck with that. The fall should be fine for stadium events, assuming that Michigan properly prepared with extra hospital capacity, HCQ, Remdesevir, etc.

I am so thankful I live in a red state!
Let them wallow in it.

Meanwhile football will be played in the South this fall; because I simply must watch LSU repeat as champions!!

I don’t watch her much, but when delivering new illegal shut-down orders or reports on the infections or deaths she seems way too giddy.
