Gov. Andrew Cuomo made these comments Monday about reopening New York’s sports teams: ” I also have been encouraging major sports teams to plan reopenings without fans but the games could be televised. New York State will help those major sports franchises to do just that. Hockey, basketball, baseball, football, whoever can reopen we‘re a ready, willing and able partner.
“Personal disclosure, I want to watch the Buffalo Bills but I’m still objective. I’m acting as Governor. There is no personal agenda here. Yes, I do want to watch the bills but that is not subverting my role as Governor. I think this is in the best interest of all the people and in the best interest of the State of New York even though I do have a coincident personal agenda because I want to watch the Bills but they are separate agendas. At least some would say I have a conflict of interest, I want to disclose it.”
