“Amid COVID-19, 25 of the 26 Republican governors "have decided to play football," but "three-fourths" of the 24 Democratic governors "have decided not to play already and most will probably not play.”

PolitiFact rated this: False

PolitiFact says: It’s not governors but collegiate athletic conferences and universities themselves that are deciding whether their teams play football this fall.
