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. |

So...you don't see alot of chest bumping in your neck of the woods? I do. Just like the throat slash craze of a couple years ago, and the diving into the end zone era after that. |

And I am a Back Judge where I tend to the first on a big time offensive play. Most of the time I see the kids just hand me the ball and hug a teammate after they score a touchdown. I am not suggesting that there are never problems, but they are so rare I would not call it a problem. This is why I suggest that kids do not automatically follow what they watch on TV like brainless cattle. Coaches must be doing a good job telling their kids to not give the team an advantage through penalties. This is not much different than parents teaching their kids values so they do not do what they see on TV, YouTube or any other forum that shows behavior that would not be acceptable. Peace

What is the NFL rule on pant pads? Earlier this week, I heard an interview with a defensive back who said he wore no pads of any type except shoulder pads. He specifically mentioned removing his thigh, hip, and knee pads.

I'm not even sure NFL guys have to wear anything other than shoulder pads and a helmet. Not sure. I know lots of guys appear to have very few pads (kickers, especially, but some other guys, too).

Many years ago SI (I think) did an article contrasting the equipment worn by Eric Dickinson and Marcus Allen. Dickinson seemed to wear just about every piece of padding and protective equipment he could find. Allen wore next to nothing.

knee pads here
I saw one player with short pants several years ago. Nothing since. I've been expecting it, but it hasn't shown up yet here. Chest bumps, yes.
The message on the arm bands seems to have got through. See almost none of that this year. I don't think the NFL requires padsin pants. Shannon Sharpe was interviewed a few years back and said he didn't wear any. If there are hip pads in girdles, thet are so thin I've never been able to make them out.

What Rut said. The pun about Marshall Law is funny though. I am guessing that Marshall is the guy's name.
