LETTER: Why must Clark County golfers wear masks?

While looking through the Review-Journal sports section last weekend, I saw many pictures of the UNLV football and basketball games. One thing really stuck out: None of the players on either side was wearing a mask, as required by Gov. Steve Sisolak.

The very nature of these two sports makes it a certainty that players will smash into each other, sweat will fly everywhere and bodily fluids will be exchanged. Both games were played indoors, yet no masks. But golf, by its very nature, ensures that there will be social distancing and it is played outdoors in fresh air.

Football and basketball games at the pro and college levels have had to be canceled and shuffled to new dates all season long as a result of COVID-19 outbreaks. Yet our governor has mandated that anyone playing golf must wear a mask. What if any sense does this make? Maybe the governor needs to follow “common sense” instead of science.

LETTER: Nevada’s shoddy education system

Those thinking about moving here will be thinking how they are going to educate their children. Many will change their minds and look at other options.

LETTER: Does Jacky Rosen favor abortion up until birth?

Since her attack ads, which may or may not be true, on her Republican opponent, Sam Brown, are mainly about his stance on abortion, she should be able to articulate her stance.
