[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happened to my child. Had an asthma-like attack the other day while running for a sport with a mask. My child cannot continue to participate in said sport the same way as long as masks are required. My child cannot participate in some activities in practice and must take more frequent breaks.

But you need to look at this on the level of individual versus societal risk. The greater good is that risk of transmission in a community goes down.

What happened was downright scary for my child but I still think MSI's position is the right one.[/quote]

Your child could definitely qualify for a medical exemption. I would talk to your pediatrician. I wouldn’t go for the greater good if it’s harming my child, sorry. My daughters are playing in very lightweight masks and have been fine so far. But if something like this happened I would not hesitate to get a medical exemption.[/quote]

So screw the greater good if Mia and Peyton can't manage to wear a mask? Congratulations, you are what's wrong with America. If someone can't wear a mask, for either medical or political reasons, then the simple solution is that person doesn't get to participate in society, or in this case a particular activity, for a few months.

My kid doesn't like shin guards. But he wears them, because it's required to play. He can choose not to wear them, and perhaps I can whine to his doctor that his little tootsies hurt and try get a note, but it won't do a damn thing. Wear the required safety gear or go home.[/quote]

You’re seriously comparing wearing shin guards and maybe getting a bruise to wearing a mask and extreme breathing difficulties like this child experienced? There are medical exemptions for mask wearing, even during sports. [/quote]

Lol a bruise?  I specialize in ortho.  Peds tibia (leg) fractures are very common.  And it will have you out of soccer for about 3 months. Not necessarily equal but don't downplay the usefulness of shinguards.[/quote]

Very common?  That's odd.  I grew up in England and almost nobody wore shin pads back in those days.  I don't recall any of my friends - not a single one - across decades and multiple teams - getting tibia fractures - not one.  An uncle did - but he was still playing soccer in his late fifties - so perhaps that's not surprising.

So if you are seeing lots of tibia fractures now, when everyone wears shin pads all the time, that seems very strange to me.[/quote]
