Football is a religion in the US. Not only is there pro and college football - communities can be insane fans for high school football if pro and college teams are too far away to go to. If Americans had 1/1,000th as much interest in universal healthcare as we do football - we'd have gotten it decades ago.
Recently the US has had ~1,500 covid deaths a day. And - of course - that's just one covid metric there's also illness, suffering, job losses, bankruptcy, etc. But 10,000,000s of Americans have decided they are past covid. They want to see sports live, go to concerts, go to bars, go to clubs and they want to do all sorts of other normal pre-covid stuff regardless of the health danger.
Mass death has become fully normalized for them. As time goes on - that will be true of more and more people. It's petrifying.
