Harry Potter famously wore a cloak of invisibility; people in sports infamously wear a cloak of invincibility.
People who play sports or who are involved with sports (or even simply spectate sports) put on this cloak of invincibility and, suddenly, it keeps their beloved teams and players immune from the problems of the regular, real world. We're sports! We'll get through it! We're star athletes! We're important!
Even sports journalists got a little cocky, just assuming that Major League Baseball knew what it was doing. Sure, yeah, it was possible (if not likely) that some MLB players would test positive for COVID-19 during this imperfect setup of baseball teams traveling all around the dang country.
