![]() UEFA's chief medical officer says it is "definitely possible" to plan a restart of European soccer leagues despite the Dutch and French ending their seasons and Italy's sports minister raising the prospect of a similar fate for Serie A. Reuters Football season restart still possible, claim UEFA Thanks to all the athletes for your commitment, strength and resistance during the hiatus. "It will return in phases and will be determined by the evolution of the pandemic and with measures on distance and hygiene, but it will return. "Sport is going to return," the sports minister Irene Lozano said on Twitter on Wednesday. The Copa del Rey final and second division play-off matches would also need to be scheduled.Īlthough the top divisions in France and the Netherlands have been declared finished due to the pandemic, all major sports institutions in Spain including the government's department for sport have committed to completing the season. There are 11 weeks remaining of the campaign in La Liga and Spain's second division. The source said the four phases can be completed within a month, meaning top-flightt matches in Spain could resume by the middle of June. Phase four refers to full group training which needs to last at least two weeks before action returns. Phase two is individual training and could begin as soon as May 6, while phase three is training in small groups of up to eight players. Players and staff must undergo a RT-PCR test for the virus and a serology test before returning to training as part of phase one of La Liga's protocol for a return to activity. Goodell, though he may be personally very unpopular among fans (and certainly among players), serves as a useful punching bag for a league that is beloved and pulled in $11 billion in revenue in 2014.La Liga clubs will begin testing players for coronavirus next week as the first step towards restarting the season in June, a source familiar with the league's plans said on Wednesday.Īthletes in Spain have been forced to train at home since early March due to one of the strictest lockdowns in Europe, but Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has announced they are free to begin individual training at facilities from next Monday. The key difference is that professional football has been the most popular sport in the United States for three decades running. Over at The New York Times, Ken Belson suggests that relative to the NFL’s revenue, Goodell makes a comparable salary to the heads of pro basketball and baseball. As Bloomberg points out, Goodall’s 2014 salary is higher than that of all but 61 CEOs of public companies. Goodell’s salaries are much higher than any of the NFL’s highest-paid players. There are a number of different ways to look at these figures. In his nine years as commish, Goodell has now raked in just over $180 million. Goodall’s 2014 haul is slightly less than his 2013 salary ($35 million) and considerably less than his 2012 salary ($44 million), the latter of which included millions in deferred money. In addition, he received $3.7 million in pension and other deferred benefits and $273,000 in “other reportable compensation.” Goodell had a $3.5 million base salary, but he also received a bonus of $26.5 million, a figure that was determined in 2013.
