It's time to express your displeasure at the most recent guidance concerning sports and recreation, as well as the fact that no additional thought was given to cheer/band participation in these outdoor events without having to take away from parents being able to see their students play. The mixed messages coming from Richmond are not a good look for the Commonwealth and reflect poor leadership decisions.
If anything, athletic events should be something we can use to bring our communities back to a sense of normalcy faster rather than creating the divide that Governor Northam has now caused. This should also, as he has said all along, be a more local decision as the local leaders have a better understanding of what is going on in their own back yard than someone sitting in an office in Richmond does. That has been his sentiment all along to this point, but now it suddenly changes why? He says, "We need people to be outside" out of one side of his mouth, only to say, "Outdoor entertainment events can have 30% or 1,000 attendees but athletics can only have 30% or 250 attendees, and cheer/band counts as attendees not participants."
