Quote:Exactly.  If you don't practice in these drills to work on technique and assignments, you are more exposed to injury.  This mentality that we need to water down non-contact drills is the same mindset that says everyone should get a trophy for participating even if they don't win.  It's the "estrogenization" of sports.  The biggest advocates of watering down practices probably have a closet full of mom jeans.

 

You're getting emotional.  This has nothing to do with that.  It's simply a matter of limiting risk.  It's the same logic that keeps these practices from being full contact.  You don't do full-contact padded practices every day from now until the season starts because of risk of injury and it's unnecessary.  It's not because they want all the players to grow breasts.
