Will COVID-19 be the needle that finally bursts the sports bubble?

That's where I'm starting to wonder more about lockdowns than actual sports. The politicians definitely sound worried lately. I do think it will take a little more to get to that point, but we're closer than many people think. DPS already delayed school start (edit, you said that above!), only by a week but still, and I think we may start seeing more of that too.

"Don't tell us the truth. Tell us what we want to hear." Sounds like I've heard that before: Isaiah 30:10, perhaps?


Good News Translation
They tell the prophets to keep quiet. They say, "Don't talk to us about what's right. Tell us what we want to hear. Let us keep our illusions."

 

Columns like this just deepen the certitude that the sports media is in the tank for one political party.

"Slow to respond, quick to downplay the risk, unwilling to create a national strategy, quite willing to attack governors who took the pandemic seriously, pushing for premature openings of states, flaunting a no-mask stance for months and turning that into a belligerent political statement, Trump and his ideologues are now marinating in a midsummer mess of their own creation. What an epic failure of leadership, one that will deprive Trump of his cherished autumn fealty festivals at a packed football stadium."

Looks factual to me.

 

Verses 12-14 apply, too.

“But this is what the holy God of Israel says: ‘You ignore what I tell you and rely on violence and deceit. You are guilty. You are like a high wall with a crack running down it; suddenly you will collapse. You will be shattered like a clay pot, so badly broken that there is no piece big enough to pick up hot coals with or to dip water from a cistern.’ ”

 

Reality and a belief in electing competent people are also in the tank for the not-Trump party.
