    Yes, I certainly would have allowed it if it was their choice. As well as followed the mask requirements on buses, while stretching, while waiting around. What I would not do is require masks during extreme exertion.

    This protest is against forcing kids to wear masks while running. My original message stated:

    I will not put kids on the track and tell them to run any races while wearing masks.

    What the flip, is the motto of NH not live free or die?

    This is good, we need more people like this standing up against this ridiculousness.

    Also screw your state, move to a free state. My son has been participating in XC and track events with no mask while warming up or racing since August. I am in Florida, people are moving here daily to find freedom.

    The Armory Track in NYC had a lot of youth races recently and masks were required. I am not aware of any problems. I do agree that risk outdoors seems minimal but it is up to each jurisdiction to determine their own requirements.

    Guess what? Your kids are still going to wear the masks when they race with the next coach.

    Listen, in general, I’m in favor of taking a stand to prove a point. But, contrary to popular belief, a functional protest or stand needs strategy. Because you didn’t think this through, the only thing that will be remembered is that you threw a tantrum and got fired

    You accomplished nothing.

    With that said, I hope you find happiness in your next endeavor. But please remember, until you have “f-ck you money” even entrepreneurs need to follow other people’s rules.

    Look up risk vs reward.

    Right.

    Never take a stand if it is risky

    Great respect for you and what you have done. People need to stand up to the coercive nonsense harming our children.

    Absurd that some here are expecting you to disprove an edict without rational foundation. The second you do that, they will say - what does a track coach know about science? It’s a set up you wisely avoided.

    No one has presented evidence that masked 2 miles will save lives.

    If people will accept something so obviously stupid, what else will they swallow from their masters?

    Best wishes.
