Growing up I never used a helmet when riding a bike. I never thought I would need one but would be laughed at if I did. Now it's the law so I do and no one laughs because they all wear one too. If they made facemasks a law it would take the stigma away. If they leave it to choice of course no one is going to want to wear it except those who are brave enough to not care about the stigma or those who have been injured before.
My dd has never worn a mask but I wish she did. Her face is just too pretty and it would crush me if anything happened to it that maybe a simple rule could have stopped. Softball is just a game. Why the need for the tough guy, it should be a choice mentality. It's not a choice in a lot of states for motorcyclist and bicyclists to wear a helmet. It's not a choice for a batter to wear a helmet. There is enough anecdotal evidence to mandate the wearing of a facemasks by at least pitchers. It probably should just be a game rule. The stigma would go away almost immediately and we can all not worry about our DD's pretty faces.
