If so, would be totally ridiculous IMO.

Abundance of caution due sweat and spit flopping out while playing. If any China Virus, droplets can carry it. Without droplets there is no spread.

Also, no fingers which might carry CV after touching face face grabbing inside of mask on other person's face. shite happens even when unintentional.

Because, if it makes it difficult to breath I would rather have the option not to have the shield.

Thank you.

It won't because that is not how viruses are spread.

Viruses are spread by infected people.

The people playing on the football field will not be infected. They have no virus to spread.

I just think players should have the option not to wear the shield.

The shield doesn’t offer the ventilation needed and easily fog up. Imagine how pissed off people will be if the shields cost us a game because a players sight is obstructed.

Without the virus,there is no spread.

19-23 year olds have nearly a zero chance of dying from covid and lower than that if they're healthy, like these athletes are.

The players are going to be tested constantly.

These shields are fricking retarded.

Sure they are trying them out
When the weather cools I’m sure it would work better
Not in rain or these humid conditions
If not comfortable I’m sure player can opt out and not wear it
Let’s hope players don’t spit in the pile at end of plays

It's not too hard to imagine a dirty or foggy shield blocking Brennan's vision and he throws a pick six to the bama defense and they go on to defeat us because of a dirty fricking face shield that is totally unnecessary.

These players have a greater chance of dying from catching a crossing route across the middle, than dying from COVID lol
