National Football League: New Rules

Beginning in 2013 there will be some new safety rules instituted by the NFL. Oddly enough there are players that are opposed to the new regulations.

What could the new rules be? Well the players dont like it because they believe it will take away from their speed and mobility. The new rule will require the players to wear knee and thigh pads. Until I read the article I was unaware the pros were not wearing that protective gear.

I disagree with the players who claim the pads will make them slower and less mobile. These pads are worn from little league through college ball. It only makes sense they continue to wear them in the pros where the hitting is harder.
