Stop insulting us with phony social distancing theatre !
American Thinker ^ | December 27, 2021 | Thomas Lifson

The purveyors of panic porn are doubling down on theatrical displays of "social distancing." .. we are once again being presented with the public figures pretending to keep several feet away from each other. I use the word "pretending" because when they think the cameras are no longer rolling, they forget about the social distancing.

One such blatant case was illustrated yesterday by Erin Andrews interviewing Aaron Rodgers, standing almost at shouting distance:

...

But when they thought the cameras were turned off, they hugged:

Holds socially distanced interview*.

*Hugs immediately after interview*.

Makes sense.

Here, I will post the pics so you don't have to go to the link...

Not to mention all the social distancing going on in the background between the people on the field or in the stands...

Social distancing is for smelly people.

Re: Heels Up at the end of the article.

I remember her kissing her husband on some airport tarmac or other - both fully masked.

That tells you all you need to know.

They are them, and I am me. “Social distancing” is a feelgood term for avoiding virus transmission. Random strangers who force themselves close to me, especially with their masks off or pulled down, are WRONG, and I will seek justice. Other people are welcome to take all of the personal risks they want. When they risk the health of myself or my family then they have gone too far.

Erin Andrews is a television actress. Watch her follow her script. Aaron Rodgers is an actor who follows his script as well.

Starting decades ago, sports irritainment has become nothing more than WWE Wrestling played in different venues with different rules all set to maximize eyeballs sold to advertisers.

They ceased to be sports when the rules were changed not for the betterment of the sport or athletes but were instead changed for increasing viewership and gambling opportunities.

League expansion, salary caps, draft pick priorities for losing teams, shared television revenues, legalized sports betting, etc., are all designed to increase viewership at the expense of actual sportsmanship and competition.

Yeah, I watched that and had to laugh hard. The announcers had to pretend it hadn’t happened. Those two really do light up when they get together.

Will you slap me and spit in my face like the Karen on the airline did? Get a grip or stay home, better yet get one of those portable bubbles to walk around in.

I don’t even have a mask, so you’d better stay away from me. 😂🤣

The mask doesn’t do jack crap. But I am with you that I don’t like people crowding me in public. I generally take it upon my self to create a comfortable distance from others, but it always seems like the mask-wearing idiots are the ones who crowd up against me at the supermarket. I usually start coughing when that happens.

I was social distancing when social distancing wasn’t cool.

It’s all a scam to control the population.
