Mask Mandates

 I find it interesting.

Three quarters of the population doesn't bat an eye on the topic of mask mandates.  It's quite literally a non-issue to the majority of Americans.  We wear masks in the same light that someone might wear pants.  It's an extra step that we have to do before we leave the house and not much else.

Then you have the people who completely freak out at the utmost mention of the term "mask mandate".  This reaction seems neurotic because it *is* neurotic.  

Meanwhile, the 2/3 of the population who isn't batting an eye is left confused.  How could such a simple thing elicit such a strong emotional backlash?

Welcome to politics 2021, fueled by the for-profit American media.

It happens on both sides.  It's just that the left is more prone to freak out over more benign topics like plastic straws or the singular "they".  

The backlash on the right seems to be causing people to die.  

Brett Favre says he wants politics out of sports

 I happen to agree.  Let's start with the National Anthem and the military flyovers.  

The way I see it, sports and politics are unquestionably intermingled.  They have been since 1938 when some dude named Jesse Owens was the highlight of the Berlin Olympics.

You really can't have it both ways.  It sounds like what Mr. Favre is really saying is that he wants the politics he disagrees with out of sports.
