There are 3 reasons why pads and helmets should be removed.
1. safety: helmets are the main cause of brain injuries in the sport. this is mostly due to constant bumping of helmets each play (especially lineman). if players don't wear helmets they do not naturally bump into each other in such a fashion. pads and helmets cause more injuries than they prevent.
2. restrictive: pads and helmets reduce the athletic ability, therefore reducing quality of play.
3. cost: this is a big reason why the sport is having trouble growing internationally.
