A letter from the Brown men’s and women’s lacrosse teams to the Ivy League, objecting to the possibility of another lost season, is getting tremendous support from fans online and on social media.
Through Friday mid-morning, more than 3,500 people have signed the petition by visiting www.change.org/p/athletes-letivyleagueplay.
The letter read, in part: “Given the plethora of COVID-19 resources available to us as students enrolled in an Ivy League institution, which we humbly credit to the Ivy League administration and staff, we are confident that together we can craft a solution to safely conduct spring athletics.”
