let us ask henry calling from columbus, ohio. henry says it is too early. caller: good morning. i say absolutely not we should not be playing sports right now. my opinion is that, very early on, the best thing was the president said this is a war. had the administration at that time commandeered all the resources available in terms of producing materials and staffing and everything under a wartime footing all these professional sports that do have a lot of material resources and cutting edge resources available to them, all of that would have to serve the populace of the united states. not to reopen the country, but prop us up and get us ahead of the pandemic. we did not do that and we may not catch up. host: what do you say to the argument that we have heard during the show? one? , cities and states need the revenue that pro sports would bring in and two, people have the right to go out and work with -- watch games and play games? i think we lost henry. we will talk to maggie calling from florida. good morning. caller: good morning. think our high school and college children sh
