Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including plans by some sports teams in Asia and Europe to put mannequins in their stands as replacements for fans. Germany soccer club Borussia Monchengladbach is letting fans buy cardboard cutouts with their own photos, to show their support from afar. The efforts serve two purposes -- to keep fans engaged, and to liven the atmosphere if games resume without spectators. Also discussed is President Donald Trump's new 'Opening the Country' council, which is full of sports commissioners and owners, and an ugly incident over the weekend involving Nascar driver Kyle Larson, who used a racial slur on an open mic while competing in an iRacing event.
