Okay but blood, sweat, and urine is not how COVID-19 is transmitted, so, ya know...

Still don't like it. Make it so!

It would look extremely weird to see everyone wearing those. I'm not against anything that could help us have a football season and keeping guys healthy, though. I'm certainly no expert, but I would imagine most of the risk of spreading the virus would come from the locker room, no?

We're going to have to hire someone to lick drew's fingers for him between plays.

Are you sure about that?

My first concern would be does the helmet restrict air flow? I know wearing masks just for short periods makes me feel like I am being smothered. Another thing is I have a goatee and mine seems to get in the way when it comes to masks. Will players be required to cut their beards back?

I assume, that if this is real, the air flow would work something like a high-end paint respirator. I'm no scientist, nor do I have the slightest idea on how to build these things. Just seems kinda like the same type of approach.

Zach Strief hosted sports talk on WWL today...Garric is off this week. I think Steve Geller hosts tomorrow. Anyway...Strief said he had a group text going today with former players and they all said they wouldn't wear that helmet,

If it becomes popular among fans and the league can somehow generate a profit from it, it might become permanent. Who knows though.

Huh?

Nobody is gonna want to see this helmet once this is over with. Hell, a lot of people won't want to see it this fall.

I dont see how players arent going to pass out from lack of oxygen and airflow, plus how will they keep the visor from fogging up. Quarterback accuracy and completion rates will suffer if you ask me.

...useless as wearing a mask in public.

Well...I can stop listening to the ENTIRE medical community now, apparently.

Considering all the blood, sweat, urine, et. al. you get on you on a football field - this is almost as useless as wearing a mask in public.

agree. This is worthless.

That and the sidelines. Players immediately take off the helmets and sit next to each other.

Looks like something that just snaps on around the facemask.

How are QBs and the LBs supposed to call audibles in that thing?
