Burgess Owens: If the NFL, NBA, and Amazon Are Essential, So Are Small Businesses

[Breitbart] On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s "Cavuto: Coast to Coast," Rep.-Elect Burgess Owens (R-UT) stated that a lot of small businesses have been shut down while big businesses have not, and "If the NFL, the NBA, if Amazon can be essential, so can the small mom-and-pop businesses that wake up every single day and figure out how to keep their customers safe."

Owens said, "Well, keep in mind, they’re not shutting down the big businesses. They’re shutting down those that really do need this opportunity to come out. And again, I can’t emphasize enough, this is our time to really have this conversation, should we be fighting for the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? And happiness was talked about as being property, to own property, to have a legacy. And we have these Democratic states, these Democratic mayors, that are finding this new power and are just going crazy with it. So, we’re going to have to have a conversation of what does it mean for us to fight for our culture, and our culture is life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, to have a business, and that someone cannot dictate that we are non-essential. If the NFL, the NBA, if Amazon can be essential, so can the small mom-and-pop businesses that wake up every single day and figure out how to keep their customers safe."

#1 And therein lies the rub: If all us proles are out buying lawn care products or knitting supplies at the mom n pop stores instead of remaining obediently locked down taking in the provided free off charge propagandistic indoctrination via sportsball programming, the Powers That Be™ have a problem.

#2 Christmas day NBA broadcasts were supposed to really rev up viewership for the coming 2021 season, instead they failed
“NBA Christmas Day ratings were off 21% from last year. NFL dunked on NBA head to head, nearly quadrupling the NBA audience,” OutKick’s Clay Travis tweeted about the ratings that day. “To be fair, the NBA had more viewers in communist China, however.”

#3 No sympathy for NFL, MLB nor NBA, or any other sports team that goes in for being a political stage by the owners and players. You have all been paid far too much (See NBA Plans for 2021 by NBC) Get Woke, Go Broke.
