Helmet less Players
Losing your helmet should be a cause for concern. A player's helmet is perhaps the most important piece of equipment they put on each and everyday. The helmet protects the player from serious injury and perhaps embarrassment if they have an ugly mug. In certain situations a helmet does come flying off and the player at this moment has two choices.
A. Slow down during the play, get out of harms way, and grab your helmet. This is understandable. Football, hockey, or whatever sport you are playing with a helmet (Note: any extreme sports athletes who regularly compete without a helmet are just dumb asses not bad asses) does not last forever and you just might need those brain cells for something later in life.
B. Completely ignore the fact that a piece of your armor just fell off and get even angrier in attempt to chase down the ball carrier, gain control of the puck, or even score a touchdown.

If you are a bad ass, many of you are not, you will choose B. Watching a long greasy haired linebacker chase down a running back and make a blistering hit on him without a helmet, get up and yell at the top of his lungs without a face mask to hide his expression is simply glorious. For all you crazy athletes who play on, helmet or no helmet, we salute you because you sir, are Bad Ass!
