Streaks of Crud.

Why do football players wear that black gunk under their eyes?

That question has been burning in my head for 24 hours, now. Someone PLEASE elucidate me.

From what I understand, it cuts down on sun glare.

Supposed to diffuse the glare from the lights (and I guess the sun, too).

Yep for the sun. In high school our games were at night so we wore it just to be cool.
