As I read through Monday’s Review-Journal sports section, I noticed that none of the athletes in the photos were wearing masks. Not one of the pictured Raiders, basketball players or hockey players was wearing a mask.

Also, on page 13A, the U.S. surgeon general, Jerome Adams, is pictured giving a speech at University Medical Center without a mask on.

Is it any wonder we “common folk” balk at the idea we are forced to wear a mask when the edict apparently does not apply to everyone?

Joseph Craig Kanab, Utah

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.
