The CDC, those liars....That’s what the porn industry said about STDs. The NFL is lying to you.

I can't believe I'm inserting myself here, but it sounds like at least right now, that is the preferred term. I seem to recall a time when it was not, (as you said.)

I understand that some athletes have done this and it doesn't bother them- buuut, it does bother quite a few!!! A teammate of my daughters gets panic attacks when she tries, it's awful. I hope they don't require them either, would make no sense.
They are now talking about how every one needs to wear 3-4 masks even when after vaccinated, so it wouldn't surprise me if they require athletes to wear at least 2. J/K....sort of.....
What do coronavirus variants mean for your masks?
Experts say masks remain incredibly important — and that means making sure you have one that fits well and offers adequate protection.

Honestly, if more magats would do this, most of our problems would be solved.
And if your dad would’ve just worn a condom this forum would’ve been a lot more enjoyable place to be!

I went biking the other day up some steep climbs. I've got the covid-19lbs...so I was a bit winded. Plus it was surprisingly hot that day. Nonetheless, the neck gator absolutely had an impact on me. And as @dad4, rightfully pointed out elsewhere, if the air is blocked by the mask, it will just find its way out around the nose or somewhere else.
Don't get me wrong, I believe in masks when it comes to indoor activities or areas where you can't socially distance and are standing next to people for an extended period of time. There is science there.

The NFL/CDC just came out with a study looking at covid and NFL games. They found no instance of transmission during games.
At some point enough is enough. If you aren't catching on the field tackling people, you aren't getting it playing soccer, basketball, volleyball, etc.

There was a basketball tournament in the news last fall that alledgedly caused an outbreak. However, basketball is indoors, and people are sitting in close quarters, maybe even eating, (this place has a snack bar,) and probably carpooling, (which is definitely more risky.) I wish they wouldn't spin it as "the tournament had an outbreak..."!

Sounds like your school boards, union and associations have been taken over by leftists idiots like California. The rules for Covid driven by the left for the most part are not based in science.
It's not ideal but at least they are playing. Originally they had cancelled the season, with little to no science to back it up. After significant public pushback, they reversed course. The compromise was masks on the field and parents at home games only.
I agree with zero of it.
Not sure why we are arguing about whether kids wear masks during games. Whether we agree or not, there is nothing we can do.
In CA, the remaining issue is when we have games, and how best to organize games within the restrictions. No tournaments and same/neighboring county makes it more difficult.

So we are supposed to be going out of state 1x a month for 3 months in a row, (starting in March.)
I would much rather be restricted to local league play if it meant not such a large travel expense.
Do clubs even have that option? I thought the state rules said no tournaments, no out of state travel.
To me, now is the time to get planning for league play.

Yeah, I can tell you on the water polo and basketball fronts at least, lots of clubs are saying F it and going anyway. There don't seem to be any sanctions from any of their parents orgs and from the postings on FB little fear of getting caught.

Wanted to post a contrast of States once again for you guys.
I live in Montgomery County, MD. Montgomery County is Democratic. Maryland is considered a Blue state although we have a Republican Governer. Policies are set forth by each county. Anne Arundel and Frederick Counties have the toughest regulations on youth sports currently.
Restaurants were running at 75% Capacity up until Thanksgiving and are now at 50%.
As for youth sports as a whole, everything outdoors except football are practicing and playing games. Even some indoor events are allowed (5v5, etc). No basketball is being played. This has pretty much been the case since last June.
As for masks, we had a couple weeks that kid had to wear masks while playing. It didn't last as it was found to be unhealthy by some counties in Maryland.
I would call Maryland's CoVid policy relaxed as compared to Pennsylvania and California. What has been pushed is wearing masks everywhere with the exception of physical activity.
Now this is what is interesting...Maryland has the 5th highest density of persons per square mile of all 50 states however Maryland is 44th out of 50 in CoVid cases per Million. I really hope some of these states start looking at what is different for cases per million and what type of policies are different. Youth soccer games allowed including 11v11. Only one parent allowed per player at games. No masks while playing.
To make a closer comparison to California, Florida (and we all know about Florida's CoVid Policies) ranks 8th in population density and 30th out of 50 in CoVid cases per million. That is actually pretty impressive for a State that has mostly remained open, similar to Maryland. Youth soccer games are allowed, even 11v11. More than one parent allowed. No masks while playing.
And for those that are curious, California ranks 11th in population density and is 24th in CoVid cases per million with some of the toughest policies in place. California also has the worse numbers of the "Big 3". Youth soccer games not allowed.
Now, to play advocate for for tougher policies, New York, known to have the toughest, does beat both Florida and California in this metric.
In conclusion, from what I see, I think Maryland is the "Happy" medium here both with tough vs open policy and in youth sports. Outdoor youth sports with little physical contact does not spread CoVid and I think it's obvious at this point.
Take it for what it's worth.
