AlexGreen#20 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 The rate of infection doing outdoor activities like biking or running is almost zero. So long as this stops guys from having spit and sweat hit each other in the face, this should be adequate, right up until somebody takes their helmet off and touches their face with the gloves that were just on the sweaty bicep of the man they were blocking.

Cloth material that will not filter out viruses but will stop water droplets from transferring person to person. If the NFL wants to go with some sort of splash guard tech, they certainly can, but some form of masks will also be required. I dont fancy wearing that in Sep while running my *** around the stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It absolutely doesn't. the arguments against wearing a mask are frankly ridiculous. People should live by one rule: don't be an a** hole, and that is exactly what wearing a mask represents. Is it a perfect prevention system? No, but it shows that you at least took 3 seconds to think about your fellow man. It honestly baffles me that this is even an issue - they don't affect your breathing significantly (surgeons wear masks for hours on end and you don't see them passing out due to oxygen deprivation), and not wearing one is just broadcasting to the world that you are selfish. While everyone has the right to do what they want when it comes to their own personal health, not wearing a mask is taking that freedom away from other people. This whole not wearing a mask frenzy is just yet another example of how american exceptionalism is a ridiculous pipe dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpulse Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 You quoted me about the WRONG material. Cloths masks absolutely help. The coldgear from underarmour that is designed to be breathable is NOT correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also comes down to optics - at least wearing something shows that you took a second to think about someone other than yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is literally designed to do the opposite of what a cloth mask is supposed to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is literally designed to do the opposite of what a cloth mask is supposed to do. I didn't realize that those types of balaclavas were special material, makes sense though. Regardless, all the material is doing is wicking moisture from the inside to the outside, from there, it gets evaporated. This still stops water droplets from traveling out of one persons mouth and into another person's 3 feet away. They would certainly be hard to wear in the summer months, although they could be adjusted to just cover the mouth and nose, but it ultimately doesn't matter, no way they do a season this year. Although thinking about this makes me curious if small oxygen packs could be designed to fit into a players pads, maybe something that can fit in the chest pad area so that players aren't at risk of breathing in the virus at all. I don't know enough about oxygen tanks or how much an nfl player would need, and I'm sure if it could be done it would probably be extremely expensive to the point of not being worth doing, but i am curious what it would look like.
