NFL coaches and masks? Is it political? PR? Optics?

I don't get this charade.
Has the NFL explained why they're forcing only coaches to wear masks and fining them if they don't in EMPTY stadiums...
In a controlled environment where everyone has been tested inside that bubble and the players aren't wearing them...
And all the games are mostly all OUTDOORS - shite, where I live you can eat at any restaurant sitting shoulder to shoulder next to a stranger as long as you're outdoors.
Counties and the Feds say, ahh, outdoors are fine...you only need to wear a mask standing in line at Costco or if you work in a sweatshop and the windows and doors are locked and you're in China.
Kids at my local H.S. are all on the football field playing and practicing and nobody is wearing a mask of course.
I mean you know they have tested EVERY single player and coach who walks into that EMPTY stadium.

NFL coaches get fined.

They’re not in a bubble and can have contact with stadium staff that aren’t tested as frequently

They are making Sean Payton wear it when he’s immune since he’s already recovered

There's a deadly pandemic afoot and masks have been shown to be effective in helping stop its spread.
The Germans, Japanese and Koreans out front should have told you.

The oilfield wears hard hats. That said, with the exception of rigs where someone suspended could drop a tool, anything suspended that could fall and hit you will crush you.
At best It’s entirely a psychological thing to remind you to be safe. At worse it’s false hope like curling under your desk during a nuke.

It's all optics. They're basically trying to show their support for the Cdc and whatever their new guideline of the week is.
They know the players,. Coaches, and team personnel are already safe with the extra precautions they are doing. It's more so to say "in today's culture where everyone is wearing masks, we don't want to look like the only people who aren't wearing masks"

Why should Sean Payton, who already had Covid, be fined for not wearing one? There is your answer.

Piss on the NFL!

The best answer to any mask related question involving sports or not is very simple, politics. There really is no other answer
