Are we football gloves? This old lady, I don’t even know what I’m talkin’ about. My grandson, he plays that football. He’s always goin’ on about needin’ this and needin’ that. One day he’s yellin’ about gloves. Football gloves, he says. Now, I ain’t never played football.
What in the world are football gloves? Are we football gloves? I sure ain’t no glove. I got these hands, see? Worked ’em to the bone all my life. Ain’t no fancy glove. But these boys, they need ’em, I guess. So, I went lookin’.
First, I went to that Walmart. They got everything there. They do have a good football gear part. And they got some football gloves. I saw some Cutters gloves. White ones. Big size, for adults, I reckon. They also had some football gloves on sale. Seemed like a good deal, maybe.
Then I went to that DICK’S place. They got a whole mess of football gloves. All kinds. Under Armour, Adidas, all them fancy names. They got little ones for the pee wee players, and big ones for the grown-ups. Price tags from $19.97 to $40.00. Some for the young’uns, some for the big boys. They even got some Adidas ones that were on sale, looked like.
I saw this online place, Amazon, too. They got everything, don’t they? They had a whole bunch of them football gloves. They say it is top 100. And the Nike ones for the young ones was $24.00. Another brand, Nxtrnd, had some for the kids, too.
That DICK’S place, they got more for the grown-ups. Adidas, Nike, some called Jordan. Expensive! They had some Adidas ones that seemed pretty good, and some Nike ones that were shiny. Some of them gloves was over $50.00! And they are just gloves, land sakes.
Then there’s this other place, Target. They got that delivery thing, where they bring it to your house, or you go get it. They had some gloves, too. Battle Sports, they called ’em. About $39.99. And they said free shippin’.
Amazon, they got deals, they say. Free shippin’ and you can send ’em back if you don’t like ’em. They got them Under Armour ones, for about $25.99. And them Nxtrnd ones for the kids again.
Dunham’s Sports, they got ’em, too. For the men and the boys. They say they’re on sale. I guess that’s good.
So many football gloves! They got all these fancy things on ’em. Some are called Ultra Stick. They say they help you catch the ball. Sticky, I guess. They got all kinds of colors and sizes. The JE11 is used by some big shot football player.
And they got holes in ’em, to let your hands breathe, I reckon. So you don’t get all sweaty. They call it ventilation. Imagine that. Needin’ holes in your gloves.
- So, are we football gloves?
- No, we ain’t.
- But them football players, they sure do seem to need ’em.
- And there’s a whole heap of ’em out there.
- All kinds, all prices.
I just hope my grandson likes the ones I picked out. He better. Spent a whole afternoon lookin’ at gloves. Football gloves. Who knew there were so many? It’s a crazy world, ain’t it? These kids and their football. It is important to them, though.
These football gloves, they ain’t cheap. But I guess if it helps ’em play better, it’s worth it. Maybe. I still think it’s a lot of fuss over some gloves. But what do I know? I’m just an old lady. I don’t know nothin’ about football. Or gloves. Or are we football gloves. I still don’t get that.
