The decision by the Canadian Football League to postpone the start of the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic was inevitable.
From the NHL and NBA to Major League Baseball, the MLS and others, sports leagues have been at the forefront of an entertainment industry that has been economically bludgeoned by the COVID-19 crisis.
CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie broke the news Wednesday when he announced the season won’t begin until the beginning of July.
The 2020 campaign was scheduled to start June 11, and while Ambrosie says the league will try to play a full 18-game season, he admits that it won’t be easy.
