"Professional sporting events provide much-needed economic benefits, but equally important, they provide community pride and national unity," Acting U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf wrote in a statement. "In today's environment, Americans need their sports. It's time to reopen the economy and it's time we get our professional athletes back to work."
