Premier league football should be voided this season in wake of the coronavirus

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

With the risk of being infected with Covid19 and the rising UK death rate, I believe that all football leagues should be voided this season to preserve life and minimize the risk of infection.
Other countries are stopping mass gatherings, sporting events and closing bars and restaurants and parliament needs to stop delaying the inevitable and follow suit before it is too late.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is the responsibility of the Football Association.
