I feel I need to back up my deadly accurate “wimps” statement:
I’m old school. I grew up in the 1980s and played on an all-grass surface. Sure it would rain and even snow as the season progressed, therefore our white and grey pants and practice jerseys would inevitably get stained. But, just as helmet stickers go, I wore them like a badge of honor. That being said, it’s fun to get dirty. It means you’re playing the hame hard, isn’t that what sports is all about?
By the way, my knees are fine.
Football as it was meant to be.
