i think u are getting mixed up with the 'goal tender' in ice hockey blade!
Baseball - helmets, and one (!) huge glove...
Ice Hockey - top to toe in armour...
American Football - helmets, honey monster shoulder pads, hip pads...
Basketball - ok, this one escapes!
All this hullaballoo about an NFL match at Wembley... I went to see a game a few years ago at the Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield (free tickets by the way!) What a load of tosh... you can't see where the ball is half the time, and they stop and start every 10 seconds - the game's a joke.
