Sleeves don't contain pads. If it has a pad, it's a pad.

Who says? Not my state, and not the rule book.

I'm just being argumentative here, b/c I haven't cared personally myself.

I'll diagree with this. For several yrs now players have increasingly been wearing "arm sleeves" with a "minor cushion/pad" on their elbows due to alleged injuries, and it was never considered "a pad". It was a sleeve. Now, that it goes on the leg, we're considering it a pad?

As BNR said, not in my state. Hey, we're in the same state. Cool!
