The NFL has plans to play the entire 16-game season amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Now the league has unveiled a new requirement for fans when they head to their favorite stadiums. They will have to wear face masks. Brian McCarthy, the NFL's PR Spokesman, confirmed the news and said that this applies to the entire league.

When NFL fans saw this news, they reacted with a mixture of relief and anger. Some proclaimed that they will refuse to attend any games until this rule changes. These fans don't like wearing masks and will not do so at NFL games. Others, however, praised the league. They want football and all other sports back, which would provide some normalcy. This portion of the fanbase said that they would do what the league requests if it means that they could watch live sports.

I’ll pass. I need to actually breathe in oxygen & i dont think god wants us wearing masks.

Of course that's great until they eat or drink. Or constantly have a drink in hand to avoid wearing. Or get inside and take them off/pull them down.

I'm so happy to learn that red caps are basically boycotting sports this year. 😊

This is how it’s gonna go down

They would have to hire security to go up and down isle ways the whole game

They’ll tell you to put your mask back on and then you’ll put it back on and then they’ll walk away and you’ll take it back off lmao

I’m assuming everyone who shows up at a stadium will be given a mask if they don’t have one. That’s what they do at my Walmart so I’m guessing the NFL will do the same
