Officials highlight mask requirement for fans at Super Bowl

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti (D) and other officials on Wednesday emphasized that Super Bowl fans attending the event needed to abide by mask requirements despite a recent controversy in which photos showed the Los Angeles mayor flouting the rules last weekend.

The comments were made at a press conference on Wednesday.

The senior vice president for campus and facility operations for SoFi Stadiums, Russ Simons, said that "the staff is on hand to remind people to mask up" at the Super Bowl, and warned people against trying to find loopholes to a Los Angeles County Health mandate that requires people at indoor events to wear masks unless they are eating or drinking, The Associated Press reported.

The statements from officials come after Garcetti, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and San Francisco Mayor London Breed (D) were seen not wearing masks during the NFL's Championship Game between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams.

If you think they are going to bother enforcing this, I've got a couple of face value Super Bowl tickets to sell you.

Wear the damn mask, Dammit!

I care nothing at all about your noses being outta joint because you’re forced to wear a mask. Nobody’ll see it if you have your mask on properly.

for at least part of Sunday's game. Garcetti had the nerve to say he held his breath while he had the mask off.

It's embarrassing. We all screw up now and then. Admit to it. Say you will try to do, and should do, better. Prominent people like this coming up with absurd excuses just feeds the conspiracists.
