Every media member attending the Bengals annual Weenie Roast and Mock Turtle Soupfest Monday wore a mask to the festivities.
If you wanted to dine gloriously, you had to remove your facial covering. If we’re keeping score, none of the Bengals high-ups in attendance wore a mask, from Mike Brown to Zac Taylor to Duke Tobin to members of The Family.
That comes up now and still because the NFL has decided to get tough on this issue, with players, coaches, support people and media. (Not with fans, though. More on that momentarily.) Let other businesses stay soft on the subject of vaccinations, mask-wearing and all the other accouterments of the COVID Era.
