I know that Bob and Ronny have stated their opinion. But since I am old (the "Ancient Days") enough to remember players (H.S., college, and professional) wearing knee (and elbow) pads my opinion is the opposite. It is my opinion, and I do not believe that the Rules can contradict my opinion, that if the sleeve has padding for either the knee (or elbow) it is a knee (or elbow) pad.
