May 15 2020 - Football Returns in a Limited Way

Football is finally ending its hiatus --- at least in Germany --- so it's time for The Drop Zone to do the same. Zach and Galen are joined by Josh Eastern and Zack Singer, and we take a close look at the decision of the Bundesliga to return to action this upcoming weekend, including a discussion of what the implications are if they succeed, what happens if they fail, and what happens with the global game in either case. We also go deep in discussing the Premier League, focusing on the issues that have been raised by clubs and officials about resuming the 2019-20 calendar, when that might happen, and what it might look like. There's lots of other interesting items in here as well, including discussions about economics, society, and the realities of clubs and players across the world needing to figure out some kind of competitive model that will allow their financial survival.
