Black players wear it too tho……
I can see (if it does indeed work) that quarterbacks, receivers and running backs (possibly even cornerbacks) may need this as they often have to spot tings i.e. the ball coming down from the sunlit sky, but why the hell do lineman were it? I could find, hit and tackle a 20stone guy (ok, so the tackling bit may have nothing to do with my eyesight!) a 250-300llb guy with a little sun glare in my eye.
And if sun glare is such a bloody problem, why don’t more people wear visors? Mind you, I hated the damn thing when I had one. **
I agree on the linemen. I think they just do it because it looks mean. And maybe everybody else does it because it looks mean as well, at this point. Linemen, eh? Whattya gonna do wid 'em??

There used to be a lineman who would wear full Alice Cooper makeup. (Can’t remember his name)

Pyschological or not, it seemed to work. I’m pretty sure the Nasal Strip things are the same type of thing. Same as not washing the jockstrap, eating a certain food before a game etc… **
You bet I did, especially if I had pie for breakfast.
