Yesterday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared World Wrestling Entertainment an “essential” service amid the coronavirus pandemic. Now, he’s defending that decision, which has been met with intense backlash, saying that “people are starved for content.”
The states who currently have a stay-at-home order all have some sort of limitation on what businesses are deemed essential. This usually includes restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, and banks. But as MSNBC reports, in Florida, the wrestling company will also be open for filming and airing.
“People are chomping at the bit,” DeSantis told reporters.
“If you think about it, we have never had a period like this in modern American history where you’ve had so little new content, particularly in the sporting realm. I mean, we are watching reruns from like the early 2000s.”
He concluded that people haven’t had new episodes of the sporting event for over a month.
