Food and Football Players

Tuesday, September 9th, my roommate and I expected a regular trip to the dining hall. We were in line behind a group of football players, not thinking much about it because all we saw were their backpacks, and both of us were starving. It was not until they were running around the stations that we noticed their lack of masks. Two of them were wearing ones around their chins but did not want to pull them up when an employee asked them. The other one did not have a mask at all. A manager of the dining hall came over to them and asked them to leave. After they made a big scene, the manager gave them a minute to get food and get out. However, the boys still took their sweet time. The one with out a mask grabbed a rag from the drink station and told the manager that it should count if he covered his mouth with it. Many minutes later, the manager and some other employees were able to escort the boys out of the dining hall. I was shocked to say the least at this encounter. First of all, I would have thought that the players would have been extra cautious because they would want to play their season. Second of all, I do not understand why they could not just follow the rules. If anything, wear the mask to be polite to others. Lastly, I was appalled by how they treated the workers. I do not know why they would think that they were above following the rules. Who would have thought that this is what I would be experiencing at college.
