Carole Baskin is upset, and if the rumors about her are true, nobody wants to be around her when she gets that way.
The “Tiger King” star is less than thrilled about the thousands of fans that plan on going to the Super Bowl next week. Baskin slammed the decision to host 22,000 fans in the Feb. 7 game amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I just think it’s irresponsible for people to be gathering in large groups, even though I understand they’re saying this is a much smaller group than they’ve ever had,” Baskin said, via USA Today. “But it doesn’t matter that it’s a smaller group. It’s way more people than should be exposed to each other for the purpose of watching a game.
“We are right now dealing with life or death on this planet and I think everyone of us should be doing our part to stay home.”
She’s not just calling out the Super Bowl as she opposes all large gatherings.
“What I have seen is every time there’s a big event, whether it be a protest or a political rally, after that thing happens there’s this huge uptick in the number of local people who are positive for COVID-19,” Baskin said. “And there’s no way if you bring 22,000 people to Tampa, from all over the place, that you’re not going to see that same kind of huge uptick in cases here. There’s nothing that would justify that sort of risk-taking.”
She may be opposed to the gathering, but one of her cats, Dutchess, plans on predicting whether the Kansas City Chiefs or Tampa Bay Buccaneers will win the Super Bowl during a YouTube event on Thursday.
