[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the people complaining that the MSI season started with the mask rule and should therefore stay, I went back and read the emails from MSI when soccer games finally got approved. They said that the mask rule was under review and that "whatever the County requires will have the force of law, and will be our rule." As I understand it, that email went to all registered recreational players, coaches, and to Classic managers and club contacts on August 28. They don't have all the Classic players information at that time because that is not how Classic works, so sorry if your team did not communicate that to you. You should have been told they'd follow the County and that it was under review. I was always 100% under the impression that MSI was going to do exactly what the County required; nothing more and nothing less.

I'd argue that they're being unfair if they did NOT change the rule to correlate with County rules, given that is exactly what they said they would do. Wouldn't surprise me if they still kept it because of people like some of you on here, but frankly, what would be their basis to go above and beyond the County rules that now endorse the AAP guidance? Is it really wise for an organization like that to go beyond government restrictions and flaunt the medical guidance that the state and now county have endorsed? And if the worst case happens and there is a serious cardiac event, can you imagine the liability now without the cover of being mandated by law?

Last, can I just say those of you arguing against masks period, can you take that elsehwere? And the same for those of you who are making the quantum leap that those of us against masks in this context are generally againt it. This is about masks for vigorous outdoor youth soccer. This isn't a mask debate. It's for a specific activity. I know countless families, like us, that are strong supporters of wearing masks but do not for this specific context. [/quote]

Very well said.  I'm actually going to have my kids keep wearing it during games but I by no means feel that individuals or companies should have to enforce it if it's not mandated by county.  If you signed up for soccer (or anything this fall) you are accepting the ebb and flow that goes along with a pandemic as eveyone treads these new waters.

We are not with MSI anymore but I'm sure they have worked very hard to try and put together a safe program to keep these kids active and healthy.

To constantly complain about things such as this is what will make companies give up and ultimately in a year or two there will little for parents to choose from.

Weren't they one of the only and first soccer companies that gave parents 100% refunds last spring?

How quickly we forget. [/quote]
