That's according a memo released Friday by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. The memo states that teams that are not ready or permitted to reopen by that time can do so as soon as they meet the necessary criteria. Photo by the Buffalo Bills

Bottom: Two Major League Baseball players are being vocal against a proposed pay cut for a shortened 2020 season. The proposal is for a 50/50 revenue split with the players. Tampa Bay Rays ace Blake Snell (left) voiced his displeasure in an online video on Friday, saying he will not play for less money. Philadelphia Phillies slugger Bryce Harper(right) backed up Snell's comments on Twitch. Both say that the risk of getting COVID-19 is not worth it. Photos by USA Today
