We (probably) can't have college football because the virus is still running rampant through our country, and because college football has much larger rosters, much more contact and many more teams than something like basketball or soccer (and MLS has had its struggles restarting as well).
The virus is still running rampant through our country because our population (compared to other countries) has been less willing to take the virus seriously, more likely to protest safety precautions as infringements on freedom, more likely to vilify science and scientists in favor of their own untested theories, and more likely to descend on beaches or bike rallies in droves like the pandemic just doesn't exist. That's a lot more than "Suzy and Billy in Mainstreet not wearing masks."
Even if we do focus ONLY on masks, the first thing I noticed about your post was that the focus on the 14% "completely unwilling" is too narrow a focus. So I found your poll, and it looks like only 44% always wear masks like they're supposed to, with 29% "sometimes" or less, which would be around 100 million people. Even then, this is self-reported, so that 29% number could easily be higher.
percent of the time.
