SportsBeat KC podcast: How it felt to be 1st KC pro sports athletes back on the field
The first Kansas City pro athletes have returned to the practice field. It wasn’t a full-go workout for Sporting KC, but they were one of a handful of Major League Soccer teams to get back to some limited action Wednesday and Thursday. And it felt great, said team captain and veteran defender Matt Besler, even as COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic precautions were exercised, too.
On this episode of the daily SportsBeat KC podcast, you’ll hear from Besler, Sporting KC president and CEO Jake Reid, who discusses the financial impact of lost months of the MLS season, and soccer reporter Shaun Goodwin.
