Remember in Easy Rider where Jack Nicholson rode across the
country on the back of a motorcycle wearing a football helmet? Yeah. That was
fun. Well, I was looking at a picture of the winning jockey from Saturday’s
Preakness and noticed that he was wearing his special jockey helmet. Well, I
asked myself, is that special helmet really necessary? Could he (like Jack)
have just worn his football helmet?
The amount of money spent on sports equipment in this
country has gotten out of hand. Do we really need a different helmet for every
sport? Like knitting kneedles and chop
sticks, some of these items may be interchangeable. (See post dated June 20, 2015.)
Oh, and why doesn't the horse get a helmet? Where is the outrage?
