One of the reason I hate it is b/c another player can rip the bitch off to make you sit out a play.


Pretty difficult to do if it's strapped on properly, and would probably result in a facemask penalty.

And I believe the rule doesn't force the player off the field when a penalty is called as a result of it being ripped off (i.e. face mask).

Also FWIW, they were showing during the Wazzu/BYU game the other night that Riddell and others have added an additional flap to help secure the straps and to keep the helmet from coming off.
