If American/Canadian football players didnt use that equipment, they wouldnt finish a season. The purpose of helmets/pads is to protect the players from injury so they can play more games at a higher level. We play contact sports without protection but football is a totally different thing. You have to understand how football (not soccer) works to understand what i mean.
My boss is from Brisbane and he loves our football, he didnt at first but its grown on him. Ive been to a few Australian rules football exhibitions and the guys are nuts, very entertaining.
