Football is one of the famous games in some countries, such as in America. Football is a rough game and that is why there are equipments which are used for protecting the players. One of the equipments is the helmet. Every player wears a helmet to protect the face, head, and ears. The helmet consists of a durable plastic shell and a set of foam pads that cushion the head. A plastic strap attaches to each side of the helmet below the ears and runs underneath the player’s chin.
This strap keeps the helmet in place when the player is hit. The helmet also has holes near each ear to allow the player to hear. On the front of each helmet is a plastic-coated piece of metal called a face mask, which protects the player but also allows him to see. It is illegal during any point of the game to grab an opponent’s face mask.
The football helmet is not only used as a tool for protecting the player’s face but also for collection. Some football fans even buy football helmets to be placed in their houses. They use football helmet display cases so the helmet can have a nice place and will be looked so gorgeous.
