If the WWE can have wrestling shows without fans, so can the Steelers and the NFL

When I first heard about it, I couldn’t believe it.

What’s that? The WWE, a wrestling promotion (maybe you’ve heard of it), holding live events without fans in the arena.

I was appalled, but not necessarily because of any sort of risk the wrestlers were taking by performing head-locks and suplexes amid the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. No, my main bone of contention was the WWE having wrestling shows without anyone watching live. Not that I wanted fans to be put in harm’s way for the sake of a wrestling show, you see. It’s just that, well, how can you have a wrestling show without fans cheering the faces and jeering the heels?
