(CNN) There will be no preseason games for the National Football League this year, according to an open letter published Monday by Commissioner Roger Goodell. "The NFL in 2020 will not look like other years," Goodell wrote. Preseason games have been canceled." Goodell wrote that late summer and early fall are usually "the most optimistic time of year for our fans, and for all 32 teams." "In a year that has been extraordinarily difficult for our country and the world, we hope the energy of this moment will provide some much-needed optimism," Goodell wrote.
