Football: Where Money Trumps “the Virus”

“Recently, Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rogers was mercilessly attacked for claiming he was vaccinated when he wasn’t; and for freely mingling with opposing team players after games and appearing before reporters without a mask. Of course, no one mentioned that, DURING THE GAME, all players grab, breathe on, spit on, bleed on, pile on, scratch and claw one another. That’s permitted because it’s the source of MONEY. Lots of money. And, in both college and pro games across the country, stadiums fill up with anywhere from 40,000 to 100,000 screaming, coughing, spitting, drinking, cursing fans, who sit cheek to jowl with one another. But that’s all right, too, because it’s MONEY.”
