That is pretty crazy. I saw someone mention that they should remove the excessive padding since that would make guys think twice about hitting and being hit, which would be good I think. Would also make training focus on speed and endurance instead of strength, which would make guys smaller overall and discourage steroid abuse. It sounded like a good idea I think.

Overall it’s kinda insane that every sport has weight class distinctions, but in football you can have brick walls playing against speedy twigs and it’s completely fine.
