Move The Super Bowl
How Can Covid Crazy California Host a Super Bowl in the Midst of a State of Emergency?
You've probably seen that Gavin "Early Dinner" Newsom has extended California's statewide mask mandate an additional month. While it would have ended on January 15th that date has been postponed to February 15th. (Bless your heart if you think it will actually end then...)
Now the reason Gavin can do this is that he has declared a state of emergency, and in his mind the emergency that is the current Covid wave is so severe that leaving management to local governments is not enough. He feels compelled to rule by fiat and compel his citizens to comply with restrictive, dehumanizing measures for as long as he sees fit.
So given this fact, if we take the Governor at his word that this is truly an emergency requiring these measures, how can California possibly host the Super Bowl in just 5 short weeks while these harsh emergency measures will still be in place?
And in Los Angeles no less, which is ground zero for California's Covid hysteria.
Los Angeles feels compelled to force all workers in the county to wear N95's or medical grade masks. They've set up a system of medical apartheid to restrict access to most businesses and venues for those not mRNA compliant. The county has vigilant testing, isolation, and quarantine policies. Schools in LA, if they open at all next week, will have tighter restrictions than ever.
We were told last year that the Super Bowl was a giant "super spreader" event. It wasn't true, but that has never been admitted to by the public health officials that run LA, otherwise they have to admit how inept it was to force the Rose Bowl out of LA last year...
So given this atmosphere of emergency powers and restrictive measures, how can Los Angeles possibly host another purported "super spreader" event this year?
Why not, instead, move the game to a state that isn't under a state of emergency? It looks like the NFL may already be looking into this.
It appears the NFL is already exploring the contingency of moving the Super Bowl to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas should restrictions in Los Angeles get any crazier. If I were them I wouldn't wait another day to make the announcement. Why risk having the biggest event of your sport’s season held hostage to the whims of a governor and public health bureaucrats high on two years of absolute power? Especially when there are completely viable options in rational states like Texas or Florida?
I say Move the Super Bowl!
Anyway 0 and 2...
