Protecting against Turf Burn?

[jeuce]

So I play in this flag football league and this season they decided to play on astro turf. Well today during our game, I slid for a tackle and got a prettybad turf burn on my right knee. Pretty much took alot of the skin off. My question to you guys is, is there anything I could wear that would protect my kneesbetter? Id assume knee pads but i would imagine they get uncomfortable. Has anyone experienced this before? Anyone have any suggestions? Besides "stopsliding"

whenever i played on turf id rip off some strips of athletic tape and put them on my elbows to prevent turfburn

Why would slide to make a tackle in flag football?
