_Come on guys, I think Chibuku was organized & were following all covid regulations, soccer is the most followed & revenue-generating sport in the world. Can’t you find a permanent solution for professional football to resume? Covid will always be there, we can’t always ban & resume._

Another commentator said:

_Would be interested to know how football was left out of this list. What criteria did you use?_
