Why don't football players wear glasses?
It's a contact sport!

Did You Know?
A contact sport involves physical touching between players, while contact lenses are an alternative to glasses! Football has over 100 collisions per game on average. Contact lenses were invented in 1887 but didn't become popular until the 1970s. Many athletes do wear contact lenses during games, but glasses would be too dangerous due to the physical nature of football!
