Dick Vitale Gets Blasted For Wearing Medical Mask Wrong While Ripping Floridians (VIDEO + TWEET)

Dick Vitale surely had a message to tell, but he went about it the wrong way.

The legendary sportscaster took to his Twitter account to speak on Florida smashing their coronavirus case record with over 9,000 positive cases in just a single day.

Vitale hit the streets with his mask on and stated how he couldn’t believe how very few people were wearing a mask while in public. Only problem here is that he had his medical mask below his nose.

I don’t get it as over 9 thousand in Florida today tested positive for COVID-19 yet tonight on Siesta Key people were not social distancing & very few masks.Ppl let’s get REAL & do not be selfish WEAR MASKS / WASH HANDS & SOCIAL DISTANCING r a MUST The numbers r not lying . pic.twitter.com/z3oiJchsBm

Dick please get off Twitter….you aren't even wearing your mask correctly, let alone you're 80+ years old. Why are you out and about in the first place? Added to the list #AssClownVitale? https://t.co/pgWeUcWGNy

Dick lecturing people about wearing a mask while wearing his incorrectly, falls right in line with him criticizing Will Wade and defending Petino and Coach K. https://t.co/M477Wigkp4

Vitale clearly should’ve had his mask the correct way, but his message is still clear: Wear your mask and engage in social distancing.

He made sure to do another video with his mask on the correct way.
