Well, this is an interesting topic I’ve never thought about before but here it is! Do NFL players pee their pants? Sure, it sounds gross but I guess it could happen in the heat of the moment!
I can imagine it happening if they are so pumped up and focused on the game, like any kind of athlete would be. Plus, their pants are usually quite tight, and they’re not always able to get to the restroom when they need to go. So might they pee their pants from time to time?
Well, I did a little research and it turns out that a few players have admitted to doing it. Apparently, it’s not as uncommon as I thought. Some players even have a special pair of pants that they use just in case they need it.
Personally, I guess I can’t blame them for peeing their pants if they need to. It’s all part of the game and can be pretty intense pressure that they are under. But it’s also totally avoidable. Most NFL stadiums provide players with their own private bathrooms and many of them have special players’ toilets.
Of course, they don’t always have the time to take advantage of these facilities. I mean, they play under a pretty tight schedule, and there are only so many breaks they get. So, it’s not totally unheard of for a player to just ‘go for it’ and let it out.
That said, if you ever see one of your favorite players do it, just chalk it up to a moment of enthusiasm or focus and not necessarily a lack of self-control. I’d be willing to bet money that it’s the former and not the latter.
Now, let’s talk about taking preventative measures. After all, accidents can happen so it might be wise for the team to have a backup plan. For starters, players might want to invest in some absorbent under garments or pants that are designed for such things. That way, if an unexpected accident should occur, the players won’t be stuck in a mess and can go on with the game.
Secondly, there are also some dietary strategies that they can incorporate into their lifestyle. Many believe that by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and staying well hydrated can ensure that the bladder is fully emptied and won’t be causing any potential problems during the game.
Additionally, it can’t hurt to make a few strategic restroom breaks during the game. Sure, it might take time away from the action, but it can ultimately save a player some embarrassment. After all, nobody wants to be the guy who peed his pants on national television.
And lastly, some players practice certain bodily exercises to help them keep better control of their bladder during games. There are actually yoga and meditation techniques that some believe can help with this and make sure an accident doesn’t happen.
So, to answer the question: Yes, NFL players can pee their pants. But with the right preventative measures in place and some basic dietary and lifestyle changes, it can certainly be avoided.
