This is about someone who's job is as an entertainer, being asked to do their job, that they are paid very well to do.

Consider that the stresses that normal people are under, and the potential for domestic/emotional abuse that has risen during the pandemic. Adding a regular sporting event in the middle of that stressful time, might actually be the kind of relief that could be considered an essential service.

This is the one time in history when an athlete can save lives simply by doing their job.
That is a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeach.
