NFL Threatens To Pull Draft Picks From Teams Over COVID Masks.
NFL Threatens To Pull Draft Picks Over COVID Mask Violations.
39 9/30/2020 9:11 AM PT.
The NFL is so pissed off over coaches continuing to flout its COVID mask rules . it's now threatening to pull draft picks from teams if the violations continue.
It's all in a new league memo officials sent to the 32 clubs on Wednesday, which spells out the possible heavy punishments.
In the memo, obtained by multiple media outlets, the league says a forfeiture of picks as well as suspensions are on the table if coaches keep pulling down their masks during games.
Of course, the problem was a HUGE issue for teams in the first two weeks of the season . and the league handed down some big fines over it all.
Head coaches like Jon Gruden , Sean Payton , Vic Fangio , Pete Carroll and Kyle Shanahan were all docked $100,000 . while their respective teams were hit with $250k fines as well.
Coaches seemed to clean up their act in Week 3 . with most of the previous offenders abiding by the rules.
But, cameras still caught Arizona Cardinals head man Kliff Kingsbury , Fangio and a few others once again ditching their masks . and it's clear the league is tired of seeing it.
Bottom line . wear your masks, people -- or else.

Grasping and turning the face mask like this is a foul at any level of football. Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports.
You’ve seen it 100 times. A player with the ball reaches out and stiff arms a defender right in the facemask. Good move giving him the Heisman!
While that may not be a foul, don’t be surprised if a “facemask” foul is called, because the runner very well may have committed a violation.
At every level of football, what’s bad for the defense is bad for the offense — all it takes is a little twist, and that runner’s run can end very quickly — and with a 15-yard penalty headed backward.
‘Facemask’ rules cover all helmet openings.
What is little-known is that football’s “facemask” rules in high school, college and the NFL don’t just cover contact to the facemask, but to any opening in the helmet. That could be grasping the ear hole, the back of the helmet or the chin strap. Turning the helmet by grasping any of those openings is an expensive personal foul.
Why? Because it’s super dangerous, and in paving a path to the future for the sport, safety is key.
High school bans virtually all facemask contact.
The National Federation of High School Associations (whose rules book is used in every state but Texas, which applies the NCAA rules book) makes it illegal to “grasp,” “turn” or “pull” the facemask or any helmet opening of an opponent. The penalty is 15 yards. If the contact is “incidental,” it’s a foul that draws a 5-yard penalty.
Just like high school, any college player — runner, linebacker, safety — who manipulates or controls the facemask or helmet opening of an opponent has committed a foul. That’s covered in Rule 9.1.8:
“No player shall grasp and then twist, turn or pull the facemask, chin strap or any helmet opening of an opponent.”
In the NCAA and NFL, twisting and turning is key.
Unlike the high school rules, the NCAA rules book does allow brief or incidental contact to the facemask that does not include twisting or turning. The NCAA rule makes clear that simple grasping is not sufficient to draw a penalty — there has to be more than just fingers to the facemask:
“It is not a foul if the facemask, chin strap or helmet opening is not grasped and then twisted, turned or pulled.”
The NFL’s rule is nearly identical to the NCAA and is covered in rule 12.2.14:
“No player shall grasp and control, twist, turn, push, or pull the facemask of an opponent in any direction.”
Like the NCAA, the NFL adds a clarification to make it clear that brief contact is not illegal:
“Note: If a player grasps an opponent’s facemask, he must immediately release it. If he does not immediately release it and controls his opponent, it is a foul.”
That foul is 15 yards, and if it’s by the defense, it draws an automatic first down.
While the language may be different from level to level, the end result is the same. If a player grasps and twists a player’s helmet via facemask or another opening, it’s a foul that draws a 15-yard penalty.
In only high school football, “incidental” contact to the facemask draws a 5-yard penalty.


The best breathable face masks for playing sports and exercising.
The right face masks are essential for playing sports and exercising this summer.

Also available in adult size.

As states and counties lift COVID-19 lockdowns, parents and kids are taking steps back to normal life. Backyard barbecues, outdoor exercise and recreational sports are returning, but with one big change this year: Face masks are still necessary to keep COVID-19 at bay.
"Any type of facial covering and material can be effective as long as it fits well, stays dry, and covers the nose and mouth," infectious disease expert Mark Cameron told SFGATE.
Of course, wearing the right mask makes a huge difference, especially when exercising. Cameron explained that medical masks, like an N-95, should be avoided for a variety of reasons:
They're more stifling during physical activity They'll lose efficacy when inevitably soaked with sweat and moisture during exercise Health care workers and other direct caregivers and patients need them.
Instead, Cameron suggests experimenting "with light fabrics and various styles to find one they can exercise comfortably with, right from bandanas, to neck gaiters, to home-made or commercial ear-loop masks, or those that are purpose built for various forms of exercise."
Recent research has shown that face coverings may play a large part in preventing future waves of the virus, and with California, Texas and the Carolinas have all seeing COVID cases rise since Memorial Day, precautionary measures aren't going anywhere.
"It may not be easy, especially with children, but until we can come down from the plateau phase of new case rates in which we are currently stuck in the U.S., masks are going to be part of our daily lives and our children’s lives if we are to succeed," Cameron said.
Look for masks made of breathable materials for exercise and sports—athletic wear companies have shifted some of their resources toward producing masks made of moisture-wicking materials typically reserved for undergarments and workout clothes, for example. Here are a few different options to play with, based on your face covering preferences.


How to Choose a Football Facemask.
The one thing between your face and your opponent is a thin piece of metal. This vital piece of protective gear is designed to help protect your face from the action you encounter on the football field.
Maybe, at first glance, you’d consider choosing the facemask with the most bars, but the choice is a bit more complex than that.
So, what is it you should look for when buying a facemask? Let’s get to it.
MATERIAL.
Facemasks are made of three standard materials: Carbon steel, stainless steel and titanium.
The most common option, and most affordable, is carbon steel. Tough and durable, carbon steel is heavier than other material choices.
Although more expensive, stainless steel facemasks offer durable protection with a lighter overall weight.
The top material, worn mainly by the pros, college athletes, and some elite high school teams is titanium. Titanium facemasks combine lightweight construction for speed with superb strength and durability.
No matter which material you choose, the model you need varies based on your position and responsibilities on the field.
CLOSED CAGE.
The closed caged, (also called a full cage) is a type of facemask does exactly what you’d expect: it maximizes the protection of your face without compromising your field of vision.
Closed cage models typically include numerous horizontal bars along the bottom half of the facemask. This type of facemask is a good option for players in the trenches who desire maximum protection for their eyes, face, mouth and chin from the fingers, arms and elbows of their opponents. Linemen, linebackers and fullbacks traditionally use this type of facemask due to the continued physical nature of their position.
More bars equals more protection and durability, but also lowers visibility and field of vision.
OPEN CAGE.
For some positions, added visibility is key to success. An open cage facemask has horizontal bars at nose level and below, but is open around the eye area to maximize the player’s field of vision.
These facemasks are designed for skill players like quarterbacks and wide receivers, who need to be able to see the whole field and the ball at all times. They are also good for kickers and punters, who need enough visibility to aim.
Some models are designed to provide extra protection for skill players who demand open vision and protection. Many open cage models include eye protection in the form of an extra vertical bar in the players’ peripheral view or the jawline to help reinforce oral and eye protection.
Open cage facemasks offer a good balance of vision and protection for players who possess the ball often and are looking for a better level of protection from oncoming hits. But if you need even more protection without sacrificing visibility, there is another option that you can clip to your facemask: a football visor.
FOOTBALL VISORS.
Although most leagues do not require football visors, they are increasingly popular with both youth and pro players because of the additional eye protection they can provide. They can also be helpful to filter out glare and could even make it more difficult for opponents to read your eyes during the play.
A lightweight material like polycarbonate, with an anti-fog layer, helps your vision remain unimpeded. So, if you’re looking to unlock advanced benefits, find a visor that has a tint like sunglasses, since that can help shroud your eyes and cut down severely on disruptive sunlight. Always check with your league regarding guidelines or limitations on what players are permitted to wear before picking up a tinted visor.
Generally speaking, most brands create facemasks specifically designed to fit on their specific helmets and come in youth or adult sizes.
Whether you’re going head to head with your team’s biggest competitor or scrimmaging during football camp, having the right facemask can make a big difference in protecting you on the gridiron.
Before the season starts, make sure you know what to look for when buying other vital football protective gear — like a football helmet and chin strap — so that you’re ready to take the field.


NFL threatens suspensions, forfeiture of draft picks for mask-wearing violations.
SportsPulse: Week 3 had so much action we provide a jumbo sized version of overreactions this week. Mackenzie Salmon reacts to all the biggest storylines from a wild Sunday in the NFL. USA TODAY.
The NFL sent a memo to all 32 teams indicating that further violations of the league's game-day protocols for wearing masks could result in discipline that includes suspensions or forfeitures of draft picks.
Sent Wednesday from NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent and addressed to team executives, general managers, head coaches, athletic trainers and public relations directors, the memo warns that "this lack of compliance creates unnecessary risk to game day participants."
During the 2020 season, as the league focuses on playing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the NFL and the NFL Players Association have mutually agreed upon a list of game-day protocols to help prevent the spread of the virus. Some of those measures include mandatory mask or face coverings to be worn by coaches and non-player personnel on sidelines.
"We will continue to address lack of compliance with accountability measures that may also include suspensions of persons involved, and/or the forfeiture of a draft choice(s)," reads the memo, which was obtained by USA TODAY Sports.

Last week, USA TODAY Sports confirmed that five head coaches – Pete Carroll of the Seahawks, Kyle Shanahan of the 49ers, Vic Fangio of the Broncos, Sean Payton of the Saints and Jon Gruden of the Raiders – were each fined $100,000 for failing to proper maintain their faces covered during their Week 3 games. Each of the franchises was also docked $250,000 as part of the discipline.
"I had a coach who was reminding me about it throughout the game, (running backs coach) Chad Morton was on my ass the whole night," Carroll said after Seattle's Week 3 game against the Patriots. "He was reminding me the whole time. I even changed masks at halftime to find one that worked better. Sometimes you've got to get coached up. Sometimes you have to admit that that you screwed up and have got to do better."
Vincent sent a memo to the 32 clubs on Sept. 14 and another from the NFL Football Operations/NFL Management Council on September 25, asking that teams and personnel observe the game-day protocols.
In Wednesday's memo, Vincent said the league "saw significant progress" in Week 3's games but noted that "wearing of protective equipment is still not universal."
Vincent also noted that inconsistent use of face coverings "threatens to undermine fan confidence" in the healthy and safety protocols outlined by the league before the 2020 season.
"If we are to play a full and uninterrupted season, we all must remain committed to our efforts to mitigate the risk of transmission of the virus," the memo read. "Inconsistent adherence to health and safety protocols, such as wearing face coverings and observing physical distancing requirements will put the 2020 season at risk."
