Sam's Army
Sam's Army was an unofficial supporters' group for the United States men's national soccer team. The name of the group derives from Uncle Sam, a national personification of the United States, and the Scottish supporters' group the Tartan Army. Sam's Army debuted at a 1995 U.S. Cup game following the 1994 FIFA World Cup. In 2010 there were more than 14,000 members of Sam's Army, and the organization reported having members around the world. Sam's Army was known for wearing all red and usually standing behind a goal during United States national team matches. George Vecsey of ''The New York Times'' described Sam's Army as, "a relative handful of goofy characters in red outfits... who follow the American team around the globe." The American Outlaws are now the dominant U.S. soccer supporters' group and Sam's Army is now defunct. History Sam's Army was co-founded by Mark Spacone and John Wright.

This is most apparent in sports such as ice hockey, field hockey, and lacrosse, where goalkeepers are required to wear special equipment like heavy pads and a face mask to protect their bodies from the impact ...
