Multiple colleagues have asked me about American Football. Not being a huge fan myself, I understand their thoughts that it's not the most fascinating sport in the world to watch. However, I don't understand their declaration that American Football players are wusses for wearing helmets and pads. All I can say is, have you not seen the uniforms for Aussie Rules Football? Can their clothes be any tighter and can their shorts be any shorter? And American Football players are wusses for wearing pads?
Don't Australians realize that such short shorts haven't been stylish in sports since the late 1970s/early 1980s? Short shorts in sports have gone the way of acid washed jeans, permed hair, scrunchies, and shoulder pads. Needless to say, in Western Australia, those things haven't gone very far.
