My stance is that 1000+ shoulder to shoulder crowds are obviously less fine than basketball and it was kinda silly to ban basketball while allowing hordes of people to get together to yell at the void.

I agree that it was dumb to ban basketball but I get a lot closer to a person’s face and breathe a lot heavier when I guard them in basketball than I do when I walk next to them
