NY Times: Was College Football Worth It?

A HUGE major flaw in the story/bias was the "assumption" that college football caused gatherings, and thereby caused spikes in covid cases. First, you assume that if there was no college football there would be no gathering. False. Badly false. Second, was that the gatherings were the cause of the spike. California has been one of the strictest "lockdowns" there are (unless you are a government official) and yet they are one of the worst case scenarios in the US. So how does that work?

Gatherings. And the “lockdowns” have very little teeth. California, NY, NJ, Florida, etc. all were going to have bad outbreaks due to...


...and it didn’t help that you had governors being irresponsible role-models in states like California and Florida.

The true travesty is in states that should have never been the worst in the country, like Iowa and the Dakotas. Not hard to figure out why: governors who treated it like an inconvenience and a populous that was embarrassingly cavalier about masks and gatherings. It’s not a coincidence that Iowa was one of the lowest in mask wearing and one of the worst in cases per capita.
 
The New York Times is the worst newspaper in the United States. I would trust the National Enquirer more than I would that rag.
