I went to watch my son play soccer today in NC. Masks are required in NC even outside if you cannot maintain distance. Sports leagues are so terrified of being shut down they push mask mandates for all spectators outside or in.
As I wait in the parking lot for the previous game to finish I see just about every parent in masks. players are in masks (my son is in HS knows masks are bullshit, but wants to play sports, so I am allowing him to make that decision).
My car was just outside the fence, I decided I would watch from the car. I wont wear a mask and prefer not to cause a big ruckus for my son's sake.
As I sat there I noticed a man and his wife walk by in no mask and went to the field, disregarding the mask sign. Once I saw that I had no choice, I had to show solidarity with them and make sure they werent the only ones maskless.
So I went in, while I dont wear one, I have basically been a recluse for the most part. It was slightly uncomfortable waiting for some libtard to say something and for me to try not lash out at them.
So I sat down in my chair distanced from others. A family in masks sat near me. Next thing you know the family took theirs off. Then I saw another couple come in with no mask, then friends of the formerly masked family came in, no masks. By the end of the game it was 30 to 40% mask free. It felt like victory.
Nobody said a word to anyone about being maskless.
The point is, we need to support each other. I guess I need to get out more. Maybe next time I will be the first one maskless and start my own domino effect, like the couple I saw today.
Fantastic!
