Football helmets are being outfitted with shields over the mouth section during the 2020 season to help limit the risk of coronavirus.
Fonua posted a video of himself wearing his and said that he "can't f**king breathe under this thing!" Watch the video below.
Are these shields really necessary? I mean, seriously? Do we need face shields to play football? These guys are going to be tackling each other.
At this point, I hardly think a face shield is going to make much of a difference at all. Sure, they might look cool and help a little, but I don't think anyone expects them to make a huge impact on player safety.
If it's safe enough for players to be running around crushing each other, then I think we can probably leave the shields in the equipment room.
If players are going to complain nonstop or if it's going to hinder breathing capabilities, then throw them in the trash.
We'll see how many players end up wearing them, but I have a feeling these aren't going to be accepted without plenty of complaints.
Interesting to see many articles purposely against the official covid narrative condescending in one way or another to that same narrative. What are the authors trying to achieve ? Is that a feeble attempt at pacifying a little the completely sold out pro-covid fanatics ? See I agree with you a little kind of thing ? Trying to avoid being "cancelled" ?
I've seen that time and time again and that rubs me the wrong way. Stand up for what you believe or shut the F up. There is no middle ground in this BS.
