“It is requested and encouraged that all participants, their family members, officials, volunteers, and vendors be fully vaccinated on or before the dates of the event. Masks are required at all venues, regardless of vaccination status”. “Requested and encouraged”, how about mandatory?
Was gonna give a big thumbs up the New York State (something I rarely do) for having the games, but if they’re going to be so restrictive as to REQUIRE vaccines, masks, etc,, none of which actually work, I’ll rethink that endorsement. And yes, I know, nobody cares whether I endorse or not. As always, just sayin’. And again, as always, if you’re not comfortable being around other people, just stay home.
