DeWines's Ohio COVID Rule: High School Wrestlers Can Wrestle - But Can't Shake Hands
2020-12-13
[MRCTV.ORG] In the midst of scratching their heads over Governor Mike DeWine’s (R) Dec. 7 extension of his bizarre, unconstitutional "curfew" to guard against a virus that, evidently, becomes more deadly after 10 pm and before 5 am, Ohio residents might have missed the bizarre "high school sports" edict issued on Dec. 4...That’s the command that high school wrestlers are "permitted" to wrestle, but before and after the match, participants are...

...forbidden from shaking hands.

WLWT5 reports:

“Among the new rules is student-athletes are permitted to wrestle, but must refrain from handshakes before and after the match.“

Thank goodness. Or is it, "thank government?" After all, who knows where those HANDS might have been? Heck, they might have been attached to wrestlers who were breathing, sweating, and drooling on each other in their struggle for dominance on the mat. So... er... Yeah.

Then there’s the added genius of this rule:

“Wrestlers are also required to wear facial coverings off the mat when not actively competing or warming up.“

Because, as anyone knows, when the wrestlers aren’t wrapped up with competitors like human pretzels, they might encounter the breath of another human being.

And there’s this:

“All those on the team bench also need to observe social distancing of 6 feet.“

Because...

Well...

Sure, when wrestling with a maskless opponent, competitors DO break the sorcery of the magic six-foot barrier and exchange a lot of fluids -- they do BREATHE all over their opponents -- but. Um... It LOOKS good and quite fascist
...anybody you disagree with, damn them...
ically uniform if a news hound takes a photo of the team on the bench and they’re all spaced apart like masked soldiers on review.
