Because of ridiculous requirements for baseball, a lot of organizations are deciding to not have a season to let our children play. The Governor gave the green light to play ball, but is making it almost impossible for it to happen.

Our children need normalcy, and we need to stand up and advocate for them. In 24 hours, Governor Dewine changed his mind about mandating masks to go into a store because of negative feedback that Ohio gave him. Let's do the same for sports!

You can go shopping for the fun of it and NOT have to wear a mask.

You can go to a restaurant to eat outside and be in close contact with a waitress, and NOT be required to wear a mask.

You are allowed to be in places that put you in more danger with the amount of people inside and NOT be required to wear a mask.

So why cant our children go OUTSIDE, play sports, and run to the dugout WITHOUT having to worry about putting a mask on?

Lets get this changed NOW!

Wearing masks while children are playing a physically exerting game is dangerous and ridiculous. R they gonna get covid from the sand now?!?! Rediculous

Please don't require children to have to wear masks to play sports. That is very unreasonable to ask of a child. Far more harm can happen wearing a mask than the risk of catching covid.

Masks are a useless muzzle that serve to spread disease instead of protect from it. My kids looks forward to summer sports and will be devastated not to play if you don't remove this idiotic stipulation.

Wearing a mask in the heat may cause a heat stroke. The masks will only be clean for the first few minutes of the game, after that the mask will be contaminated and useless. Please let the kids play sports without this dangerous mandate.

This guideline is absolutely ludicrous. How in the world can you have sweaty children who have been catching a softball, touching their glove, possibly touching the bases, the bats, the dirt, etc. now touching their masks and then putting it over their face?? Really? How is that sanitary? So now they have a contaminated mask on their face and they're sweating and it's getting it wet... and we know that a wet contaminated mask is the breeding ground for germs and we're putting it over our mouth and nose? Are you really serious?? I do not mean to be disrespectful, but this is by far the most inane restriction given yet!

Restricting oxygen intake during physical exertion is deadly.
