Special Olympics Shutting Out Competitors Over COVID Vax Mandate

The Special Olympics Southern California (SOSC) flag football team was informed it will not be allowed to participate in the 2022 Special Olympics USA Games in Florida, scheduled for June in Orlando, due to an insufficient number of players — the result of several participants, including Coby Herroon, not satisfying the parent organization's COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

Attorney Erik Weber, himself autistic and a longtime Special Olympics athlete and coach, recently wrote Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., the Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, and the Florida Department of Health to advocate for individual medical freedom for athletes, coaches, volunteers, and families at sporting events and festivities.

The Florida Department of Health responded last week by telling Weber, based on the information provided, it did not appear Special Olympics violated the Florida Statute preventing businesses from requiring "patrons or customers to provide any documentation certifying COVID-19 vaccination or post infection recovery to gain access to, entry upon, or service from the business operations in this state."

The Marxist Left will ALWAYS come for you, too, eventually.

These kids work soooo hard at just living. The Olympics are probably one of the few joys that are meaningful to them.

This is just like middle school.

So... not a good time for that wheelchair joke?

You should be fortunate enough to have 1/1000 the heart of a special needs person.

You need prayers.

Excellent, and I really like the way you worded it.

I think I know what you mean, as I never apologize to the Left, never explain, and never tag sarcasm or familiarity, so I will translate for this thread only:
