Why is this, especially playing on turf with possible turf burns?

Get em off your lawn.

Aren't the knees supposed to be covered? And isn't it an equipment penalty if they are not?

I mentioned the rule and quoted it from the NCAA rule book: pants must include knee pads and pants must cover the knee. AND players must wear mouthpieces. Both rules, like Wisky holding, are ignored, so either start enforcing them or erase them.

Sacrificing increased risk of injury/direct impact for more speed and agility. Used to only be a thing in the NFL but has trickled down apparently.

Does field turf cause burns? It's certainly more forgiving than the AstroTurf of the past.
