I am confused by Wilson's argument. I'm sure that they tested the strength of the unit but what they did is akin to a brake company field testing their new pads on a NASCAR track. I know some of you may think that having amateurs do it is just as silly and I agree. There has to be a better way.

At the same time, Hickox accepted the free gear. I didn't read anything further on this piece. Does anyone knows whether MLB umpires receive sponsorship deals for wearing gear?
