What was the point of Spatting your Cleats? Was it the benefits to your ankles? or was it a Fashion statement?

During my Senior year, our coach didn't allow us to spat up. He didn't want any individuals or "prima donna's".
We were 4-6 the year before,
. A lot of Seniors that year didn't give a %!%% (It was that coaches first year, longtime coach left).
Senior year we were 8-1, heading to our rivalry game, he let us go out in style
. Dudes spatted up, and took crispy clean wristbands from the back of their lockers,
. They went all out, D-Linemen looking like Deion.
I just spatted up, taped my wrist extra high.
It was purely for fashion.

Spatting does nothing for stability .....it is purely a waste of tape....can't stand having towait to get taped up when some fool who ain't even going to play is taking up the trainers time for some spat, then complaining that is was tootight

The D-end that played on the opposite side of me had a back flap, he made all the receivers jealous
They would be in the locker room before the game trying to convince him he did not need it

It's for fashion to go along with your visor, towel, neumann gloves and sanitary socks.
