Hi, iam Evelyn Jernigan, Have a nice day.

Why Can’T The Nfl Show Their Legs? [Solved]

In 1945, Commissioner Elmer Layden had a wild idea that NFL players’ legs were too ugly to look at, so he made a rule that they had to wear long socks. Even though it’s an outdated rule, it’s still in effect today - which is why NFL players have to wear high socks while NCAA teams can still go bare-legged.
