Saying that schools should have done more to reduce risk, doesn't somehow make it OK for fans to gather to watch a game. Nor does it make it not OK. It simply doesn't have any relevance in the discussion, from my POV.
Unless there was a different point you were trying to make...in which case you are welcome to clarify.

My point was that these group events if social distancing aren't that bad compared to other things in life, so I used a hyperbolic reply.
Importance aside, 30 kids in a tiny classroom is far more likely to be the cause of an outbreak than 2000 people in a giant arena/stadium that are able to socially distance. I probably should have avoided hyperbole online and used restaurants and bars as an example.
