I think because it is a subset of the wider debate about when we start easing lockdown and when we come out of lockdown completely.

If we ignore the naive view that everything in the world is on hold until there is a vaccine / cure / effective treatment, then the question becomes one of balancing risk and reward. And part of that process is deciding when particular facets of life can re-start, hence the debate on a football forum about when football can re-start.
