One of the Rangers who had been killed was the Lone Ranger's brother, Tonto made a mask from his shirt for the Ranger to wear until they caught the gang (so that he wouldn't be recognised by Cavendish). After they caught the gang the ranger decided to keep wearing the mask until the West was free of crime. So, that is why the Lone Ranger wore a mask.
No current professional player currently wears such a face mask; the last player to do so was Scott Player, who last played professionally in 2009. Typically, by the mid-1980s only placekickers and punters in professional football in Canada and the United States wore the one-bar face mask, a notable exception being quarterback Joe Theismann.
