@GovTimWalz @Tim_Walz #COVIDー19 @FOX9 @kare11 Mr. Governor Walz, So as of May 18th my kids can go to a mall/summer day camp/retail stores/walmart/daycare/the big yellow candy store BUT they can’t play their summer sports??? Please help parents/kids understand the logic....

....Kids all over this state have been patient. They have had their hopes of playing sports crushed by multiple continuations of your orders. #Minnesota kids have been through a lot with this pandemic. They have been understanding & patient. My 12 yr old asked me this today......

...”How is it that We can all go to a crowded big yellow candy store but I can’t go play hockey?” Good question! Pretty sure practicing with her new team @mnmadehockey on a 200x85ft sheet of ice is safer than going to Jordan’s Candy Store. There is a way to do this......

...sports they all love. We all understand that loved ones have passed away & this virus has made life complicated. But its time to move forward living our life with this virus being part of it. I know you have kids too & I would think that you understand & will appreciate this..

....message. I know some will not. I am not looking to make this political or start any kind of Twitter war with anyone opposing this message. Simply thought this may be the best way to get your attention as my hope is that other parents that feel the same retweet this thread....

....We all thank you in advance for your attention to this subject and we look forward to getting out and playing/watching youth sports. Sincerely, Jeff. Retweet retweet retweet thank you
