What’s all this performance? Players and managers putting their hands over their mouths when talking, what have they got? State secrets?
Stops people lip reading doesn't it?

More likely it's so the other teams in the league don't know what they're saying.
Makes sense when they are probably saying something controversial about the club or team mates etc. Doubt they would bother if they were on about their tea that evening.

This started to be seen on TV with professional tennis players playing doubles, presumable so the opposition didn't know their next service.
But with lip-reading being used more and more to 'evesdrop' on celebritites private comments you might understand why people do it.
