Report: NFL Considers Requiring Fans to Sign COVID-19 Liability Waivers to Attend Games

The NFL is reportedly considering making fans sign liability waivers to protect teams from coronavirus-related lawsuits.

As COVID-19 cases spike among pro and college athletes nationwide, the NFL is considering making fans who attend games this season sign liability waivers protecting teams from coronavirus-related lawsuits, according to Daniel Kaplan of The Athletic.

The proposal is likely to be sent to teams next week, along with an array of other best practices for re-opening stadiums during the pandemic. An anonymous source familiar with the league’s plans told Kaplan the forms would likely be electronic.

How ironclad the waivers would be in protecting teams from potential legal action is up for debate. Attorney Bob Hilliard, who’s sued MLB on behalf of fans hit by foul balls and spoke to Kaplan on the matter, questions how ironclad the waivers would end up being in court.

“Strange things about waivers…they are fragile — often easily breakable,” Hilliard said. “Especially, as I assume here, when you are asking fans to waive their rights even if the NFL is negligen(t), grossly negligent, etc. Comes down to proportionate power — and the NFL has a high hurdle to claim that a fan has an actual choice.

“Let’s say a fan and his family go to a game,” he continued. “The team/NFL allows, by poor processes, that fan and his family to be exposed to Corona and everyone dies. The waiver defense will either be a question of law for the judge, or a question of fact for the jury, depending on the jurisdiction and the particular facts. I’d take the case.”

Kaplan also spoke to Irwin Kishner of New York law firm Herrick Feinstein, which represents team owners. Kishner acknowledged the problematic nature of waivers, yet does not view them as flimsy as Hilliard does.

“Waivers are governed by state law and speaking very generally and in over broad terms, are typically unenforceable depending on circumstances,” he said. “Fans attending games, though, are assuming a level of risk by entering a stadium.”

Other precautions expected to be recommended to the league include prohibiting cash payments at stadiums, only prepackaged food allowed at concession stands and a requirement for fans to wear masks. These recommendations will be made by the stadium reopening working group, which is led by NFL Senior VP of Security Cathy Lanier. Teams will likely make it a policy for masks to be worn even if they are in jurisdictions that don’t already require mask-wearing in public.

25 Under-$100 Summer Shoes That Are Trendy But Not Too Trendy

When it comes to any type of fashion item (whether it’s clothing, swimwear, bags, or shoes), there’s a fine line between something feeling underwhelmingly basic and overly trendy that’s often hard to get close to, let alone touch on. Luckily, as your own personal shoppers, here at Who What Wear, we’re kind of experts at it—and our namesake clothing and accessory collections reflect it, too.

That’s why—with relative ease—today I’m able to bring you a whopping twenty-five summer footwear options (including flat sandals, heels, and mules)—all of which not only hit on that perfect in-between mark of trendy but not too trendy. They also happen to cost under $100, too. In short, you can pick up a new pair for this season sans guilt, knowing you won’t get sick of it by the time next summer rolls around. To see and shop all the pretty styles for yourself, just keep scrolling.

The best thing about these blue sandals is how good they look paired with other colors.

Block-heel sandals are my go-to’s for comfortable height.

I’m very into white sandals lately, almost more than the nudes of season’s past.

Silver is another less-common neutral that actually goes with everything.

These barely there kitten heels will become your new go-to’s.

It’s hard for me to resist anything in this color.

A pair of classic sandals in an of-the-moment color.

Swap your plastic black flip-flops for a leather-look pair.

Cross-strap mules are another comfortable option I highly recommend.

Fashion girls are all about fancy flip-flops.

If you’re bored of basic ballet flats, give these a try.

The square-shaped back on these makes a subtle statement.

Buckles give slide sandals a fancy element that makes you feel like you can wear them almost anywhere.

These sandals have been popular with our editors and fashion girls alike.

I have these in black and have been living in them over the past couple months.

Lighten up any look with this white pair.

You can never go wrong with a pair of strappy black sandals.

Next, I’m a picky shopper and this is what I’d buy from Nordstrom for summer.

I Was Sick of Makeup Melting Off My Oily Skin—These 14 Primers Actually Helped

Plus, the best foundations to pair them with.

We’ve talked about it before—primers are known for their relatively controversial nature. For the most part, people seem to fall into one of two camps: 100% pro primer or 100% against. Few seem to be on the fence. However, after shunning most primers for years and simply letting my oily skin have its way with my foundation (it never ended well), I got sick of my perpetually melty face and decided to dabble. The key to finding an amazing primer? Hone in on the specific formulas that cater to your particular skin type or skin concerns. And if you’re oily, certain primers are going to be a far more successful bet than others. In general, a good rule of thumb for those with oily skin is to shop for primers specifically stating they were created with oily skin types in mind, and some other keywords and phrases to look for are “matte,” “oil-free,” “noncomedogenic,” “blurring,” etc. Although there are a few exceptions (which I will point out below), most glow- and dew-enhancing primers probably won’t bode well for anyone whose complexion goes full-on oil slick by noon. (Trust me—I’m one of those people.) To help you wade through all of your options, my fellow beauty editor Courtney Higgs and I are sharing 14 of the best primers for oily skin we’ve personally tried and recommend to people with grease-prone skin. Plus, we’ve gone a step further by sharing our favorite shine-curbing foundations said primers play especially well with. Keep scrolling!

When I asked my fellow beauty editor Courtney Higgs to share her favorite primers for dealing with oily skin, she immediately shared this cult-classic formula from MAC Cosmetics. “This primer is great for oily skin because it’s so lightweight but super effective for evening everything out and keeping your skin balanced—it’s pretty perfect with the MAC Studio Face and Body Foundation since they’re both so light on top of the face.”

“This mattifying, oil-free primer from Fenty is very good for oily skin types,” notes Courtney. “I think it’s best paired with the Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation—its filter-effect formulas go hand-in-hand and make your complexion look sooooo nice.”

Okay, technically, this best-selling sunscreen is, indeed, a sunscreen. But the 100% invisible, featherlight gel formula grips onto your makeup just like a primer, and it helps smooth uneven skin texture all while keeping oil at bay. It plays well with every foundation I’ve paired it with, but I especially love to use it underneath Armani Beauty’s Luminous Silk Foundation for a grease-free satin finish that lasts all day or night.

You can read my full, glowing review on this brand-new Glossier launch here, but I’m here to tell every other oily skinned person on the planet that this product is SO good for keeping grease and shine at bay. In fact, it’s almost too good, so you can definitely reach for a foundation that boosts your glow a bit. This priming-moisturizing hybrid is the new, oil-free, noncomedogenic version of the brand’s best-selling original, which may be a little too rich for those of us prone to the midday oil slick.

I wanted to love Tatcha’s The Silk Canvas Protective Primer, the brand’s first expedition into the priming scene. But despite so many rave reviews, the heavy balm-like texture was just too thick and oily for my finicky complexion. So you can imagine how thrilled I was when the brand came out with a new, lightweight, oil-free iteration with all of the same pollution-prevention perks sans the greasy aftermath. The formula is unique thanks to its special mix of fibroin, sericin, and silk powder which work in harmony to blur the look of pores, fine lines, and any other imperfections you may be looking to camouflage. I love to apply it before this skin-refreshing foundation from Shiseido.

I have been screaming about how good this primer is for years, and I have yet to find a superior formula fit for my oily skin. If I could only use one primer for the rest of my makeup-wearing days, it would be this one. Though it might sound counterintuitive, oily skin still needs and craves hydration—just not heavy, oily, or pore-clogging hydration! This primer is enriched with algae and marine plant extracts, hyaluronic acid, kefir extract, and turmeric to keep the skin balanced, smooth, soft, and miraculously grease-free. Plus, it makes any foundation you apply afterward look even more amazing. Another longtime obsession? Physicians Formula The Healthy Foundation With SPF 20.

This is another longtime cult favorite within the primer realm. It’s remained one of the all-time best oily skin primers for a reason—it’s highly effective. Oil-free, clear, and rich with skin-protecting vitamin E, it’s the perfect setup to prep your complexion for foundation and significantly minimize pores.

I’ll just say it. This is one of very few primers formulated with clean ingredients that haven’t made my skin freak out. Since so many clean skincare and makeup brands rely on oils, I’ve found many yield dastardly results when it comes to greasy aftermath. However, this one from Ren is an exception. In addition to being clean, it’s also noncomedogenic (aka, it won’t clog your pores), and it boasts tons of MVP ingredients like matte-enhancing agave, probiotics, and lactic acid.

We don’t believe in such a thing as “perfect” skin, but if we did, this primer would get us pretty dang close (especially if we wore it underneath its strategic foundation accomplice below). As one of the most legendary makeup artists of all time, Pat McGrath delivers on this skincare-enriched primer that lends necessary hydration and glow (thanks to hyaluronic acid) and some smoothing magic courtesy of the brand’s signature Cosmetic Filler Powder, which it describes as a coated, microsphere powder designed to emulate the seamless clarity of ceramic. (Yes, like the tile.)

This primer from French beauty brand Sisley Paris is an investment but a worthy once considering how much ground it covers in the skin-enhancing category. Not only does it help out oily skin thanks to its simultaneous shine-reducing, pore-tightening powers, but it also fills and blurs fine lines and wrinkles and even diffuses the look of blemishes or pigmentation.

Trying (and loving) this radiance-boosting primer from Charlotte Tilbury officially dispelled the myth that products touting “dewiness” and “glow” don’t work for oily skin types. The name doesn’t lie—this wondrous primer curbs oil, revives dehydrated-looking skin, and lends a soft-focus aura to your complexion that’s so incredibly flattering. Worn underneath the brand’s best-selling Airbrush Flawless Longwear Foundation, you won’t experience a lick of grease. (Pre-pandemic, the combo survived through plenty of evening workout classes and even granted me “good skin” compliments afterward!)

ICYMI, there’s a lot more to Beautyblender than its iconic makeup sponges. In fact, it’s a little-known fact (except among makeup artists and beauty editors) that the brand’s makeup primers, foundation, and newly released concealers are truly fantastic. I recommend this primer for oily skin since it absorbs almost instantly, has skin-protecting antioxidants and SPF, and also has a unique dry-oil consistency to ensure your skin doesn’t get too matte.

Specifically formulated to address oiliness and pores, this mattifying primer from Korean beauty–inspired brand Erborian features a beautiful fusion of white water lily (to moisturize while nixing grease), silica powder (to absorb sebum and minimize the look of pores), and light-reflecting pigments (to add a haze of radiance that doesn’t look like it’s been born from grease).

YSL touts this best-of-the-best primer for oily skin as “blotting paper in a tube,” and I have to wholeheartedly agree. Salicylic acid is the hero ingredient and goes on the offensive to control oil, nix excess shine, and even minimize the look and size of pores. Even better, if used regularly, the formula is designed to actually curb your complexion’s oil production long-term as well so your skin will look more refined even without product.

I’m Convinced This Iconic Summer Dress Trend Will Never Go Out Of Style

There was definitely a time, oh, I’d say two years ago, when puff-sleeve prairie dresses felt new and trendy. Fast-forward to the present day, and the dress style has died down in the trend category, but as far as classic dress styles go, it’s made its way to the top. Puff-sleeve dresses are sweet and easy and, after maintaining a shelf life longer than one season, have deemed themselves rather iconic. Over the years, they have certainly evolved, making them perfect for every style type and occasion on the map. This dress style can be both casual and formal and, particularly in the summertime, proves to be the go-to for fashion girls everywhere.

Ahead, scroll through the best puff-sleeve-dress content on the internet. You can quote me on that. From images of people wearing the trend to some of the most irresistible options on the market, this story has it all. If you’re able to scroll all the way through without making a purchase, please contact me because I need a lesson from you in willpower stat.

Proof these dresses serve just as much purpose indoors.

There’s nothing sweeter than a yellow dress on a warm summer day.

When you have a perfect dress like this, you really don’t need much else.

Heading to a socially distanced picnic? Well, this outfit was basically made for the occasion.

Puff-sleeve dresses are perfect for whenever you need to throw something on and go. Errands? Check. Outdoor brunch? Check. Walking your dog? Also, check.

Have fun with color and choose a hat that will contrast your dress while still complementing it.

Fashion girls love sporty sandals with frilly dresses, and this look is the perfect example as to why.

Don’t be afraid of details beyond just the puff sleeve. This added ruching makes the dress feel 10 times more exciting.

Bust out your knee-high boots this summer, and wear them with all your new puff-sleeve dresses. The combination is idyllic.
