Senator John Cornyn of Texas says major league teams in the state are ready to play again, but they’re worried about liability.
The Republican met this week with representatives from the teams. Pandemic restrictions are being eased, but it’s still not clear when games will be played before crowds of fans again.
Social distancing would mean fewer tickets sold, and more screening as fans arrive at the stadium.
Cornyn says team owners are asking Congress to help by limiting their liability if someone catches the virus while attending a game.
