  I’d say not as much sissies, more moronic cavemen who don’t know how not to hurt themselves or each other.

  Are the pads kevlar? I thought they were mostly just plastic.

    It’s a mix of HDPE outer and EVA inner.

    There’s absolutely no reason to put Kevlar in football pads. Against blunt impacts, it’s no more protective than any other cloth, and a whole lot more expensive. They’re just using the term to be dramatic.
