<p class="speakable-content"><em><strong>If your company has decided to recognize Juneteenth as a paid holiday, you&#x2019;re not alone. Here are all the companies across sports and entertainment celebrating.</strong></em></p>
<hr>
<p class="speakable-content">Juneteenth has long been an <a href="https://fansided.com/2020/06/19/juneteenth-history-traditions/">unofficial American holiday</a>, celebrated by many Black Americans across the U.S.</p>
<p>On June 19, 1865, a Union army general read federal orders in Galveston proclaiming all enslaved persons in Texas were free. Texas was the last state in the Confederacy with slavery, and so the emancipation of enslaved Texans marked the emancipation of the last remaining Black Americans. Juneteenth, which draws its calendar date from this event, is just one of many days of historical significance on the path to freedom, but it is the most widely celebrated.</p>
<p>While Juneteenth celebrations spread out of Texas long ago, an unprecedented number of companies are choosing to recognize the day as a paid holiday in 2020 in ongoing attempts to fight racism on every front.</p>
<p>Here are the companies in sports and entertainment who have announced Juneteenth as a paid holiday.</p>

<h2 class="speakable-content">During a call with several prominent sports commissioners, President Trump said he believes the NFL season will start on time and hopes to have fans back in arenas in August and September</h2>
<p class="speakable-content">Saturday morning, President Donald Trump held a conference call with major sports league commissioners, which included Roger Goodell (NFL), Adam Silver (NBA), Rob Manfred (MLB), Gary Bettman (NHL), Cathy Engelbert (WNBA), Jay Monahan (PGA Tour), Dana White (UFC), Vince McMahon (WWE), Don Garber (MLS) and John Middlebrook/Jim France (NASCAR).</p>
<p class="speakable-content">According to <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28995399/sources-trump-says-nfl-start" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ESPN&#x2019;s Adam Schefter and Adrian Wojnarowski</a>, Trump said on the call that he believes the NFL season will start on schedule in September. He also believes fans will be able to fill arenas and stadiums again in August and September, though medical professionals may not share Trump&#x2019;s outlook on that being a realistic possibility during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p>ESPN also reports that Silver told the group their leagues were the first to shut down, and they would love to be among the first to help restart the economy once they received the &#x201C;all clear&#x201D; from health officials.</p>
<p>On this front, President Trump suggested the possibility of the leagues banding together and lobbying for tax credits that used to exist for entertainment expenses. These included the ability to deduct tickets and concessions from taxes, giving fans incentive and easier means to return to sporting events despite the financial hardships of this current quarantine situation.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for more details on this story as they develop.</p>
