Like I said, right on cue, DSL chimes in with support.
All three of you can STFU.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

I'm not going to try to defend Fl Governor Ron Desantis' decision to add the WWE to the list of "essential businesses" in FL. I really don't give a fuck but the optics are bad.
He also added the upkeep of grounds and animal care personnel for Disney World to the list of essential businesses as well, so there is that. Some similarities but that's a stretch.
We're not talking about a stadium full of WWE fans. It's the wrestlers and minimal set personnel that will record the event for live TV with appropriate safe guards in place (we are told - what those are I'm not sure). Desantis argues that original sports content is important. For FL residents and the national audience it attracts - along with sustaining what is a FL enterprise, the WWE. FL does have fan excluded Horse racing - a revenue source - that fans can bet on. Frankly, I think these are reasonable steps to take that provide economic benefit to both the WWE and the track in Hialleah as well as tax revenue, a lot of it, to the state of FL. But, of course, "the children" ..... although this time it's old people will die.
Those steps are the kind that many governors are going to have to decide on in the coming weeks. When they decide to open something up, like Desantis did with the WWE, they'll be attacked by the save all lives at any cost crowd. Count on it.
Anyway, this is a fairly balanced piece in the swamp of attacks he's getting on this issue that also tie him to Donald Trump as he is becoming increasingly unpopular. The usual suspects including the Miami Herald are all over this with brutal attacks.

DSL, well, yeah, that's probably an accurate assessment on my Desantis post.
What I'm trying to say is that while it's bad optics, the decision he made on a micro issue is similar to the micro decisions other governor's are going to have to make in the coming weeks....... it's either shitty option A open some stuff up and take the tsunami of attacks you're going to get from the no one must die for a dollar to be made crowd along with more infections and deaths because of it or shitty option B keep your state's economy completely shuttered and bankrupt most small businesses operating in the service sector that generates upwards of 65% of your state's GDP.
Hard choices commeth. Desantis just made one.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

The WWE thing is stupid, they were taping them but the scuttlebut is Vince needs to provide live events or Fox could void the deal. Without a crowd, there is literally no difference between a live show or a taping. Truthfully in an empty arena, the taped and edited show is the way to go. AEW has taped enough shows to last through May in undisclosed barns. This probably has less to do with DeSantis and more to do with Trump. Trump and McMahon are kindred spirits and DeSantis a total Trump toady. Trump directed his toady to let VKM run the shows, he has absolute power, end of story.
The WWE shows have been ghastly in an empty arena.

We knew Trump suffered from narcissism per DSM V without actually getting diagnosed with it.....I think he reached that level yesterday with the Fauci and Governor's shit and then the 2h presser yesterday evening where he took 90 minutes with graphics to tout his achievements. Sick...... what's happening on the ground is night and day different from what is coming out of the president's mouth.
Stimulus checks release is bumping up against the deadline in going out because.......wait for it........ needs his name to appear on the check's memo line.
President Donald Trump’s name will appear on checks sent to millions of Americans to combat the economic effects of the coronavirus in a last-minute Treasury Department order, a senior administration official confirmed to CNN on Tuesday.

The decision to add Trump's name will not result in a delay for Americans receiving those checks, the senior administration official said.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.
