What the ....?

Why do you even have to lie and distort to give excuses to these grossly incompetent and criminally negligent Texas leaders and electric company?

Those who died froze to death inside their homes for lack of power for heating.

Re-read you post then, if you mention your experience of being inconvenienced of a canceled game in the same breath of topic of people freezing to death, it is implied.

No argument that TX utility companies weren't prepared for a record cold spell of that magnitude and geographical breadth.
But think about what you're implying. First, you're implying intent to harm...ya pretty sure that wasn't the case.
Second, I can think of any number of natural disasters or weather extremes that kill people who are either not prepared or in the wrong place at the wrong time. This was no different.
Could those folks have been spared if the power didn't go out? Sure.
By the same token, everyone killed in a tornado could be spared if the govt builds a huge tornado shelter in every trailer park.

But wait, at some point for that to work, also requires everyone to GO to the shelter.
Same thing here, bud.
I understand that your view (and others) differs from mine and that general mindset that "nothing is MY fault" and "the Govt's responsibility is to take care of ME" is hard to overcome when you've literally become dependent on everything but yourself.

Another looks here?

First dismissing, now 246 deaths, to the inconvenience of your own canceled game. And now your diverting it to the false equivalence of tornado deaths.

Dude, these utilities and their incompetent and thoughtless leaders in Texas would just have leaned harder on them since decades earlier state's lack of preparedness for such storms in a report from U.S. federal regulators and Texas own Electric Reliability Council. Thus preventable.

What wrong with you?:h

Nobody in California has the right to claim that someone else's utility company is poorly run. Fix your own then show us how it is done.
