Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said his decision to designate professional wrestling and sporting events “essential services” stemmed from the fact no spectators would be allowed in addition to people being “starved for content.”
According to a state memo issued last week, the governor’s executive order was expanded to slot employees at “a professional sports and media production with a national audience” into so-called essential services, as long as the location at which the production was taking place was closed to the general public.
