GOP’s Ron DeSantis deems professional wrestling an ‘essential business’ in Florida as pandemic worsens

1. Idiotic!

Idiot R Gov Lee, TN proclaimed today he is reopening state early May & declined to say whether he will order schools to reopen.

I think he likely will, because schools serve as daycare for workers.

So will we have an entire generation of kids who will suffer porential lung, heart & /or liver damage because of his greed? 🤬

Note: Vanderbilt Univ projects TN cases to peak mid-June IF all protections remain in place!

2. Wow. Haven't watched wrestling since my Grandma & I enjoyed watching Gorgeous George . . .

That was in the late '50s.

Here I've lived some 60 years without it, had no idea how essential some believe it is to life.

I have many fond memories of my Grandma's love of silly television shows. Those memories are an essential part of my makeup, a shared experience I'll never forget. I love my Grandma and treasure all my memories of her. But I refuse to believe wrestling is anything but a silly pastime I shared with her. And though there may be other young lads building their relationship with their Grandmothers based on a share appreciation of silly television shows, I can't buy that those memories should override concerns for the safety and wellbeing of countless other people engaged in creating those shows.

Were she still alive, I'm certain my Grandma would agree.

3. I certainly agree. nt

5. We share an almost identical life experience.

The only real difference, the wrestler's name that my Grandmother favored was Haystack Calhoun.
I and my grandmother would agree as well.

4. Might as well allow Trump rallies, then. Basically the same thing...

6. My husband watches it

They are performing in their training center in front of no people.

7. That could open a Pandora's box of demands from others.

They need to come up with a different term than "essential business" for this activity as it makes a mockery of those that need that classification that are truly essential.
