Trump:

It should be called football. This is football, there is no question about it.

We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff.

    Would it not increase the instances of translocation? You’re less likely to run at full speed at someone else if neither party were wearing armour.

      Yep, that’s what other commenters have replied

      The increased risky play taken by players more than invalidates the benefits of the gear itself. I was getting hung up about the gear in a vacuum since I don’t follow codes where it’s already a settled topic

      Idk how you’d put the genie back in the bottle in gridiron though if players, coaches and audiences are used to the current high impact play, then you’d have to reel that back in before players may feel comfortable doffing the gear
