Masking the Issue
As the pandemic continues to affect our daily lives, parents and coaches are attempting to bring the routine of America’s youth back to normalcy. In particular, a group referred to as “Let Them Play MN” has taken legal action and is asking Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to end the COVID-19 mandate affecting youth athletics. The restrictions require athletes participating in youth sports to wear masks during practice and game time. Supported by medical experts, the group of parents and coaches are concerned about the masks hindering breathing abilities and visibility. Both may lead to an increased potential for injury.
