My point was not that kids will see that picture and pull their pants up. My point is that many college football players wear their pants such that their knees are not covered. Turn on any random college football game, and I gaurantee you will see many players w/o their knees covered. This picture was so funny because it seems like NONE of the Penn State players have their knees covered - and this is simply indicative of the general trend in college football. Of course high school kids want to be like pro athletes and college athletes, so they in turn mimic and mock them in the way they play, the way they dress, the way they celebrate, etc.

Does every high school football player wear their pants high? No, but there are enough instances in each game where a player has to be told to cover his kneecaps.
