Who thinks that footballers shoould be dressed like American football players to

[T spot]

avoid more injuries? ..and to hide C. Ronaldo's stupid smirk when he scores?

[Gabriel Shear]

It doesn't matter. Man Utd will still be on top.

[Sir Psycho T]

American Throwball is for sissies and wee girls, they have an more armor then ancient knights and gladiators and then call their sport physical, babies. Play a real sport like Football or Rugby you wusses.

[FIONA F]

American football is more like rugby - hence the padding. I would say that makes THEM wimps since rugby players don't use any padding and just tape up their ears with electrical tape to stop them getting pulled off.

Footballers don't need padding because it's not as physical. Although I agree that some of them would benefit from having their smug expressions covered up.

[cumbrian traveller]

i think that the entire man utd team should be forced to wear helmets because they are a bunch of ugly bastards , a great advert for the contraceptive pill .

[Dad's found yer scoo'er]

There are players such as Tevez of United and Robert Earnshaw of Derby whereby there would be a positive improvement if they wore a helmet. That could be extended to managers as well for when Ian Dowie gets his next job.
