The winter sports were reaching the conclusion of their regular seasons, and the owners and players had received a substantial amount of the revenue and pay. Obviously missing the playoffs or having no fans would have impact.

MLB and the NFL face an uncertain revenue stream, depending whether fans are allowed to attend games to any degree. Most of us have suspicions that some MLB and most NFL teams make a good deal of money.

NFL will be fine. They have 4.5 billion in TV contracts

That's around 150 million per team.

Baseball is in trouble. Baseballs national TV contract with ESPN is
1 billion, about 32 million per team. Without fans in the stands, most teams will lose a ton of money.
