They came for the baseball season, and I didn’t speak out when the baseball season was cancelled, because of the Covid.
Then they came for the hockey season, and I did not speak out, because I was not a hockey fan.

The 2020 Saint Louis opera theater season is officially cancelled. We’re getting a credit for the 2021 season, to keep our wonderful season ticket seats, but this summer there will be no Carmen or Die Fledermaus, or any other lesser-known operas.
Darn. I was going to hunt for a red bolero jacket for Carmen, too.
