The future home of the NBA? Photo: Jacqueline Nell/Disneyland Resort via Getty Images No major American professional sports league has yet announced its official return, but plans are brewing for the NBA, MLB, and others to come back. One of the big questions is where, exactly, these leagues will play, since traveling from city to city is currently not happening.

Everybody wants sports to come back, and of course they have to come back. They’re so important from a financial point of view, and I think from a mental point of view for our society, too.

Not that I would know about that. Not that I would know about that.Galloway: Disney is literally like — I was about to say Nazis, but I don’t want to compare anyone to Nazis. The good part of Nazis — very organized, very meticulous, and very methodical.

We have the facilities, we have the reputation, we have the human capital.
