The Governor and the Illinois High School Association have a lawsuit filed against them as high school sports remain sidelined during the pandemic.
JB Pritzker says it’s not fair to compare the reality of colleges and pro’s playing games right now while high school sports have to wait to return.
“Professional sports and college sports have significant resources for protecting their players. Creating social distance for example by having multiple locker rooms, by making sure they have plexiglass everywhere they need to separate the players, and to test them on a regular basis, much more regular basis than an individual high school or district could afford.”
The lawsuit filed by four parents in LaSalle County seeks to bar Pritzker and the IHSA from delaying or canceling the winter sports season.
