I 100% agree will enforcement of mask wearing. 100k USD is a heck of a penalty though, for anyone, let alone regular earning folk.
I was watching some NCAA college football yesterday, my first real time seeing it, and aside from looking at the Oline play, I was staggered that mask wearing in the crowd was patchy.
I hate to see that level of disrespect to others. I guess there will always be some people that are more special than others.

Originally posted by Lumiere View PostNo, more like a 30 mph speed limit only for green convertibles, but all other vehicles are exempt. Plus selective enforcement for green convertibles.
But whatever...the players are wearing helmets most of the time, so pursuant to all known scientific understanding of airborne viral transmission, they should be fine. :thumb:

Originally posted by jazzbodog View PostKind of like a 30 mph speed limit that's NOT in a residential neighborhood that should be 40 t0 45 mph? Get caught and pay the fine. Tell the cop you don't like it and see what they say. Doesn't matter if you agree with it. IT'S THE LAW!

It's not fair because Vic is sometimes forgetful.....like when he forgot we had time outs to use.

Originally posted by Hadez View PostAgain...I have no problem with the rule...I just know the people fined were not the only ones without masks on last weekend.
In fact very few coaches had masks/shields on the entire time. I been working with the mask policy for months. We are essentially only allowed to take masks off at work for drinking and eating...and we are expected to put the mask back on as soon as we are done. If something is going on that requires us to take a mask off beside that (smoking, need fresh air...whatever) we need to leave the work environment.
Teams should look to what KC does or maybe BB (assuming that is legal) or expect to be fined. Just about every coach in the NFL was communicating without a mask during the weekend.
Have no problem with the rule...just have a problem it was not enforced to all teams.
The fines to the teams are an incentive for the teams to ensure everyone is compliant.
