A sports visor — also called a sun visor or visor cap — is a type of crownless hat consisting simply of a visor or brim with a strap encircling the head. The top of the head is not covered and the visor protects only the face, including eyes, nose, and cheeks, from the sun.

The visor portion of a sun visor may be either curved or flat and the strap is often equipped with an adjustable velcro fastener in back. The strap can function as a sweatband. This type of headgear was designed for use in outdoor sports (especially golf, tennis, and volleyball) where eye protection from direct sunlight is desirable, but is often used by non-athletes at beach and other sunny outdoor events.

Robert "Bob" McCown (born May 21, 1952 in Columbus, Ohio) is a Canadian sports talk show personality and the host of a late afternoon/early evening radio talk show called Prime Time Sports. The program is broadcast from the Toronto-based studio of the Fan 590 (the flagship radio station of the Fan Radio Network) and is syndicated nationally in Canada. Since 2004, this radio talk show has also been simulcast on television on Rogers Sportsnet. Since 2009, the show's live stream has been available online in Canada on the FAN590 website. The late actor Rory Calhoun was McCown's second cousin.

During the Toronto Blue Jays' inaugural season in 1977, McCown was the public address announcer for their home games. He was also the original host of Global TV's Sportsline, and also hosted a magazine program on TSN called The Business of Sports.

In 1988, McCown joined CJCL-AM as a sports radio personality, and in 1989, he became the original host of the sports radio talk show Prime Time Sports. In 1993, he was re-assigned as the host of the Fan 1430's morning show (The Bob McCown Show), relinquishing his PTS hosting duties to Dan Shulman. In 1995, The Fan fired McCown as their morning show host, but when Shulman left the station to join TSN, McCown was re-hired as the host of Prime Time Sports a month later. In 2007, McCown received a Sports Radio Award for "Air Talent Of The Year" at the 2007 Rick Scott & Associates Sports Radio Conference. In 2007, McCown published his first book, "McCown's Law: The 100 Greatest Hockey Arguments" with co-author David Naylor.

A football player or footballer is a sportsperson who plays one of the different types of football. The main types of football that are played are association football, American football, Canadian football, Australian rules football, Gaelic football, Rugby league, and Rugby union.

It has been estimated that there are 250 million association football players in the world, and many play the other forms of football.

Football players generally begin as amateurs and the best players progress to become professional players. Normally they start at a youth team (any local team) and from there, based on skill and talent, scouts offer contracts. Once signed, they learn to play better football and some advance to the senior or professional teams.

Research shows that association football players that take less than 200ms after the referee blows their whistle for a penalty kick are significantly more likely to miss scoring than those that take over a second.

American football players are prone to head injuries. This may make them prone to Alzheimers.
