The article makes some good points about the contradictions in state policy, for example:

> That the State considers pro sports a critical infrastructure (essential) activity undermines this whole rubric in my mind. Pro sports is very nice to have and is probably a pleasant distraction. It is not essential. ...

This is bad for several reasons:

- sporting events involve close contact between participants

- sporting events draw crowds

- sporting events require infrastructure to service them (restrooms, food, parking, etc)

- the blatant contradiction encourages those who have been told to shut down to disobey the order

[WalterGR]

Sports in California during shutdowns are not allowed to have audiences, so the following are incorrect in context.

- sporting events draw crowds

- sporting events require infrastructure to service them (restrooms, food, parking, etc)

- the blatant contradiction encourages those who have been told to shut down to disobey the order

I think there’s a lot of misinformation and disinformation out there, which is the leading cause of people disobeying the order(s).
