Why do American football players wear tights and so much padding?

Why do American Football players need all the padding?

  • It all seems over the top for what they are doing. The Rugby teams all over the world are 10 times harder than these big pansies and have no padding in a sport 10 times harder than American football. Would people still come and watch it if it were full of tiny guys without great big shoulder pads?

  • Answer:

    Yes. Roger Goodell is determined to rid the NFL of all communists.

Buddy rugby players are like soccer players they are not very big. Football players like Ray Lewis who are 290 pounds of muscle could destroy any rugby player. And when do any athletes eat at fast food restaurants. Rugby is a game of speed and agility where you need speed so most rugby players tend to be rather smaller then larger for a better speed advantage. While with football everyone wants to be large so they all have to wear pads to keep them safe.
