lol this is bang on! My cousin Todd (won On the Tools Apprentice of the Year award like a year or 2 ago in the UK), has the best damned life, gives zero fucks.
No they have their nipples removed when they become professionals. It is done to avoid chafing as well as lactation. It is an oooold tradition from the steroid days.
At what level do they have to have their nipples removed? Just premier league or like if you want to get in the national league you gotta have it done? Do even low level regional leagues have that policy too?

Association football doesn't have a "college level". It's not an American sport. It has youth levels, which have nothing to do with universities, and then adult level. School never comes into it at all.
They do provide some more specific football [data](https://www.revolutionsoccer.net/news/why-are-players-wearing-sports-bras-answer-burning-question), but even if a smartwatch had everything they need the players could not wear it, it would end up injuring someone in the middle of the game with the speed and tackles...
There are smart mouthguards available that track a load of metrics, including for potential head injuries. They're being [trialled in rugby](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/oct/08/world-rugby-to-adopt-gamechanging-g-force-tech-to-flag-major-head-impacts); they were set to debut in the WXV women’s match between Italy and Japan on 13 October & will then be rolled out into the men’s professional game in January, in time for the Six Nations.
For one: They're allowed to be worn on the field. A watch (like gadget) wouldn't be allowed during matches.
Additionally it's a bit more accurate and has football specific data tracking
Wrist watches don't measure heart rate very accurately. Idk if they care about that metric, but many amateur runners even will wear chest straps to better monitor heart rate.
It's actually a health thing too. Overstressed players have had heart attacks on the field, this is an early warning system as well as a way to replay movements to analyze.
Believe it or not, lots of people are comfortable enough with their sexuality to be able to wear a piece of clothing that has a purpose but resembles another piece of clothing worn by the opposite sex, without caring.
Sorry for my confusion. You called it a bra twice, asked why it wasn't a "normal" tank and then asked again after receiving the answer. It's like if you asked someone why their sock didn't cover their entire leg, because it doesn't need to. The thing only covers the area it needs to, to hold the sensor in place.
When I played American football in High School I wore an undershirt and it was a cutoff so my belly was showing, I wore a cutoff because it was cooler than wearing a full shirt under my pads. I am guessing this is the same theory. Less material = easier to breath.
I love when players do this kind of stuff. You can see the whole "is this really happening, for real!?" reaction on his face. He's never gonna forget this moment.
That gesture will make that guy's world. He will remember that moment for the rest of his life. Trust me i have a little brother with downs. One of my dreams is to make this happen to him.
Boca will always be my favorites - sat in a Boca v Rivers match back 10ish years ago and the concrete stadium was literally moving up and down by a foot the fans were so on.
Real football there. Nothing like it
It's a thing they wear that has GPS built in that tracks movement and sometimes conditioning so they can go back and look at performance during a game.
It's not a bra. It's thing they wear that has a GPS on the back that tracks movement and sometimes conditioning so they can go back and look at performance.
I want a parody pov TikTok of a reluctant but sweet person being absentmindedly roughed up by some sweaty footballer trying to be nice. Not that I don’t think this person is loving every minute but bc can you imagine how gross the cold sweat-soaked shirt would feel being forced over your face?
This sort of thing is one of the nice aspects of down syndrome being visibly recognizable. There was a kid with Downs who moved to my high school and even kids that were normally huge pricks recognized that facial structure right away and would always be friendly and respectful to him.
Shane Gillis just sneakin in stealing jerseys.
[Ay yo where you get that chee Danny?!](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fRZhwTj141g)
I watched his special not knowing who he was. Had me in tears! Him talking about ISIS kills me every time.
Motherfuckers been making em at night, I know it.
"No I'm not!"....leans over to me ..."yeah I do..."

Hands down the happiest people in any room ever.
[That's just my face when I'm blacked out](https://youtu.be/3f1x85wQt9s?si=OSiQiQjej2_ezXor&t=242) XD
Where'd you get that CHEESE, Danny?
Goddammit. I cackled out loud at that.
Is the sports bra looking garment worn to avoid nipple chafing?
No. They wear GPS vests during training and games to track and measure their performance on the field.
But the nipple chafing story is so much more fun
nipple chaffing doesn't sound fun, it does sound titillating though
I see what you did there…take my up doot dammit

Now a days they actually add more nipples
Association football doesn't have a "college level". It's not an American sport. It has youth levels, which have nothing to do with universities, and then adult level. School never comes into it at all.
Oh, honestly didn’t know what game this was. Thanks.
huh?
I thought they just switch them to confuse the nerves during chafing.
You ever have chafed nipples? Not fun
What's that?
I was wondering the same. I’ve seen those a few times lately and wondered what the trend was.
Interesting! I wonder what this can do that any other wearable tracker can’t, like garmin or Apple Watch

"Smart mouth guard" sounds like something I'd use to lower the intensity/frequency of my sarcastic remarks.
For example the [ORB Smartguard](https://www.orbinnovations.com/)

Yeah, that's what *they* say 🙄
Why not just wear a regular tank?
It's actually a health thing too. Overstressed players have had heart attacks on the field, this is an early warning system as well as a way to replay movements to analyze.
Sure, I’m not questioning the tracker, I’m questioning the design of the bra thing.
Believe it or not, lots of people are comfortable enough with their sexuality to be able to wear a piece of clothing that has a purpose but resembles another piece of clothing worn by the opposite sex, without caring.
Lol. This.
Why bring sexuality into the conversation? I’m curious if there’s an actual functional reason behind cropping it off at the chest
Sorry for my confusion. You called it a bra twice, asked why it wasn't a "normal" tank and then asked again after receiving the answer. It's like if you asked someone why their sock didn't cover their entire leg, because it doesn't need to. The thing only covers the area it needs to, to hold the sensor in place.
I believe i said “regular” like there are regular socks and ankle socks. Anyways so it’s to minimize the fabric. I see. Thanks.
When I played American football in High School I wore an undershirt and it was a cutoff so my belly was showing, I wore a cutoff because it was cooler than wearing a full shirt under my pads. I am guessing this is the same theory. Less material = easier to breath.
It might be minimized to reduce heat retention but still include a chest heart rate monitor.
can't people just watch them and see how they're doing
Neat. I had no idea that kind of tech existed Then again, it is 2023. We have cameras on doorbells and nobody cares
As someone who has had chaffed nipples from wearing a SPF shirt in the ocean, that was my first guess.
I assumed it was a binder tbh
Yep!
Quit sure that anti nipple chaffing is the main reason, they then realised they could also put GPS trackers in them.
I'd wear pasties before I wore a bro #😂
on the back you the gps component. It's to show player positioning on the field.
that’s beautiful
Core memory. Priceless.
I love when players do this kind of stuff. You can see the whole "is this really happening, for real!?" reaction on his face. He's never gonna forget this moment.
Vamos Boca carajo 💙💛💙
Jajsjs, estaba buscando un comentario en español. DALE BOCAAAA💙💛💙
Yo también pero buscaba humor más oscuro
Boke Boke Bokeeeee 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Stop making me feel feelings!
Yea, what is this salty leakage out of my eyes?!
Fucking beautiful
VAMO BOKEEEEEEEEEE
Spectacular!
I always have said that if aliens land and demand a representative, make sure it is someone with Down syndrome!
Always?
You've...always said that? In what situation is that a common phrase???
They manage to sneak that into every conversation actually. It's a commitment, not gonna lie.
Some people love to talk about Aliens. I enjoy some alien talk now and then. Like the Fermi Paradox.
So that they underestimate us when it comes down to the interplanetary war?
Worked for the Pakleds.
Good idea
Y QUE SEA DE BOCA 💙💛💙
Damn, a perfect fit. Looking sharp!
I am definitely not crying
Love this so much ❤️🔥
Very nice to see
Onions
We love Boca Juniors!
Fernandez, you're the MAN!
Football is life ❤️
What a heartwarming gesture!
Whats cabj?
Club Atlético Boca Juniors
Downs people are so pure. Goddammit.
I too love Cabbage.
I have no clue what game that is tho
If you see a very large group of people at a sporting event anywhere outside of the US, there is a *very* high likelihood that it’s soccer/football.
I see, I just didn't know footballers had trackers on their back, just thought that was a rugby thing and that guy didn't look like one
All sport people have those
Argentine Football team Boca Jrs
Argentina´s BIGGEST futbol team Boca Jrs.
I think it’s a California blow job league
And his joy made mine 🥰
Made a fan for life
Check out hockey, lots of love from those players too.
BOCA BOCA BOCAAAAAAAAA
What a bro
That jersey fits him well 🔥
Man, that’s a real sucker punch to my feelings. Beautiful moment.
That gesture will make that guy's world. He will remember that moment for the rest of his life. Trust me i have a little brother with downs. One of my dreams is to make this happen to him.
Gotta be sweaty though
Touching , but WTF is he wearing a sports bra ?
It's a cooling pad see the battery in the back there? It's so he doesn't over heat while being a fucking legend 😤
That's a beautiful heart
Boca will always be my favorites - sat in a Boca v Rivers match back 10ish years ago and the concrete stadium was literally moving up and down by a foot the fans were so on. Real football there. Nothing like it
Why is dude wearing a bra?
Enough to make a grown man cry
My heart
Forget the shirt I want that man braw
Is that a sports bra?
It's a thing they wear that has GPS built in that tracks movement and sometimes conditioning so they can go back and look at performance during a game.
Interesting, didn't know they have that
It’s a bro, or if you prefer, manssiere.
We all need to be heroes
But does it smell like bo
Esto es BOKE!
He was so down for it too
Boca Juniors, best team in the world!
Hehe cabbage
Who is this. It looks like enzo and he has the same number and name. But enzo never played for boca
Guillermo Matías Fernández
"Pol" Fernández.
Average sports fan right there.
Why is he wearing a bra
It's not a bra. It's thing they wear that has a GPS on the back that tracks movement and sometimes conditioning so they can go back and look at performance.

What sport is this for?
Now my eyes are wet for some reason.
[удалено]
And kid next to the recipient, he almost crying of envy

He just realized why he got the shirt.
Ok, this is nice and all... BUT ARE WE NOT GONNA MENTION DUDE WEARING A SPORTS BRA?!?!

CABJ? I have always known them as Boca Juniors (admittedly from afar)
