Yeah, he had a pull-up neck gaiter style. Totally Tunsie Sep 2020 #4

That type is pretty low on the effectiveness scale, but at least he was covered.

because they actually make the droplets smaller as they pass through the gaiter.

It's probably a safe bet that anything else would be better.

His mask was off at least as much as it was on, and he was yelling at refs just a few feet away from him with very little distance. It set a poor example and he should pay the consequences.

The exclamation mark would not be necessary if the point were valid

And I don't hate Oregon at all. Actually I really appreciate the style of play Mario Cristobal has brought to that team. The Pac 12 needs tons more physical legitimacy in the trenches

just like Trump and many in his administration.

These coaches and players are role models to many kids and are very well paid. They must always be conscious of the example the set for children.

In this case, it could be a deadly bad example.......
