They should just put the cleats in their locker and that is what they wear, not sure why it is a choice, they could give them different options, but there needs to be a minimum of what is acceptable and that should be decided by the people who are the experts and who get paid to make those decisions.

and when an athlete claims that his ACL explosion was caused by an overly aggressive cleat that didnt provide the necessary give and decides to sue the team? at some point you have to just say maybe its a learning thing and educations often arent free.

There's a choice because the cleats discussed are really long in comparison to regular cleats. Its unnerving to wear them, you feel like your foot will plant and stick. Seriously, if you put those long cleats on and were to jog on a field, you'd be like holy $hit this is crazy. I know this from experience with some athletes wearing them, me seeing them and actually putting on the shoes and I'm telling you.....its a scary deal to put on long cleats.

This. I think players feel they're risking serious injury with the longer cleats.

on the other hand, i felt more nervous with poor footing than I ever did with better traction, slipping leads to all sorts of twists and turns that arent intended, while solid footing made me feel in control and comfortable, however one of my biggest injury concerns was not being able to get my foot out of the turf when tackled low ( some would say I should have been more concerned with the long term affects from head trauma ) so I certainly understand the dilemma.
