Looks like Brian Kemp and Georgia are all alone. The most conservative state in the union is now mandating masks. The governor says he's issuing the mandate because he wants to prevent the cancellation of the college football season.

University of Texas made an announcement a couple weeks ago that if a single student dies of COVID, they will shut down the entire campus in the fall.

Meanwhile, they're going full steam ahead with in person football games with an audience. Debating whether to fill the enormous stadium at 25 or 50% capacity.

Priorities.

Haven’t we as a nation learned how meaningless professional sports, mainly football, is? Does the gov not want future crybabies to miss out on future millions to be made hating the society which gives such an opportunity?
