Why So Much Protection In American Sport?
Why is there so much protection in american sports?
Baseball - Massive 6 foot glove which a two year old could catch a ball with nevermind a millionaire sportsman.
American football - Unnecessary excesive padding
Nearly any game that america adopt they treat there stars like theyre kids.
Overprotected ?
Dont get defensive the question isnt meant to provoke or offend anyone.
Thanks.
I said to much padding;
Seeing as the knee is one of the least protected areas ?
And do you really think i mean that helmets are a bad idea ? ie coliflower ears & broken teeth. no.
I think the only padding should be helmets and cups.
whats with the massive baseball glove, you should catch it bare handed like cricketers do will a harder ball.
the knee is hard to protect because injuries come from twisting and bending so they can't do much about that.
The thing about helmets is that once you put helmets on you know have a big weapon. A helmet to another part of the body could cause some pretty bad injuries. In addition to that the way in which american football is played (the way they take contact) is vastly different from rugby. I'm a rugby player so I am in no way insisting rugby hits aren't hard but a football hit (ignoring distribution by padding) is harder so pads become necessary. Also the number of blindsided blocks makes padding fairly necessary. And anyway, now that they have designed their techniques around padding it'd be nearly impossible to take it out of the game without killing a couple hundred football players who took contact the wrong way.
Basically trying to say that not only could you not play with only a helmet, but the padding is also made necessary by the nature and rules of the game (hit legality and blocking).
Don't know enough about either baseball (which I don't like) or cricket (which I've only seen a few highlights of) to answer that part of your question. But could it have to do with speed of the ball and material maybe? Just a guess.

Bow Dog 16 foot bowhunter ladder @ Sportsman's Gear Daily
Sportman's/Hunting club needs membership. So why are they so rude?
I belong to a Sportsman's/Hunting club in Los Angeles. The back of Los Angeles is 10,000 foot mountains, and they have a shooting range club in one of the canyons here. I got in due to my father's and brother's membership. The club is dying from a lack of members. They recently had to close out trap shooting because of lack of attendance. It will probably dissolve in 5 years. Anytime anyone joins, they get the Right Wing Treatment. They will go on about how liberals, gays, and whatnot are terrible people. Well, my brother flapped his big yap, and they know I am gay, and they know I am a member of the Green Party. Would they really rather close the club due to lack of membership rather than let left wing people who like guns/hunting in?
I don't block everyone who disagrees with me. I block everyone who insults me.

Well you are getting an education about conservatives now, aren't you? They all think you are me!
Actually, Chuck, quite a few of the Members are women.
Short answer - yes, probably.... Just like the Republicans who don't vote in an election because the candidate is not conservative "enough".
