Shaved legs might just add that 1% to your game! Here are some more tips that’ll add 2 or 3% more!

“Sorry guys, can’t play tonight. I twisted my leg hairs”

Lmao yeah those hairs get in the way of making a tackle hahaha 😂

[ntandomlambo]

Or or here me out,

You just look ripped asf with smooth caffs 😂

None of these reasons are accurate. They do it for the same reason women do it. They prefer the look.

Ohhhh that’s why I’m scared to slide tackle! Welp time to have a spa day with my mom lol

It improves depth in your muscles, hence making you appear more muscular

Sometimes, your socks can pull on your hairs if their loose or tight. That may be another reason

Hairless legs also lose heat quicker when sweating as the moisture leaves the surface quicker carrying heat away from the body.

"Tugging of hairs while making a last ditch tackle?"😂😂🤣....how in the world did you come up with this

[jayanths]

Ronaldo definitely shaves his legs for the aesthetic and no one can change my mind lmao

[mark.]

Bro answered a question i never even thought about lol

[nickwood]

You missed the simplest explanation: to keep them cooled off

Let's be real here. They shave their legs because they want to look *fabulous*, that's all.

[ElMurayan]

The real reason: because the pitch makes you soooo freaking itchy and to prevent that is to remove the hair.

[ariesdc]

The only reason i can think make sense is that its fucking annoying and itchy when the blades of grass get stuck. Easier to wash off and sweat them off if its clean shaved

[CaptainUncle]

I actually have alopecia on the outside of my lower legs due to football. Look it up, people used to say why do you shave your legs😅

[shawnpitman]

You've missed another key thing that even cyclists know, you heal faster with shaved legs if you get any cuts or scrapes because there's not hair with dirt and sweat and whatnot getting trapped in the wound.

[bamba_boy]

Man i didn't know your leg hair gets twisted while making a tackle 😅

[ginpau]

Bruh I thought it has something to do with wind resistance or something 😂
