I think what I said has been misinterpreted. I didn't mean that you are a bad parent if your kid doesn't wear a mask. I meant that if you think your kid should wear a mask for safety reasons, and feel strong about it, but let your kid talk you out of it, then you are being a bad parent. Don't ask the high school administrators to make a rule just because you can't get your kid to do what you want her to do. Making everyone else do what you are unable to make your kid do is bad legislation.

Too many parents want the coach or organization to parent their kid. If you think your kid should wear one, make her. If you think it is necessary and don't make her wear one because she doesn't want to, you are a bad parent.

I've been a witness to Bloomer. Agree that he is a top not coach, just do not agree that he always evaluates talent correctly. He seems to focus on who he perceives as his "studs".
