What do you mean "these guys are breaking COVID rules all the time"?

As pointed out before, the rate of Covid among premier league footballers is *lower* than among the general population. They are breaking the rules *less* than the average non-footballer.

Why ignore the facts and lie about this? (And it is a lie, when you've had the truth pointed out to you before.)
