  1. I would always do it when I was defending. Basically any time I had to widen my stance and lock in on a guy I would grab my shorts and pull them up. Now it’s just a tic for me, but it does make my legs feel free and I feel like I have more range of motion.

  2. Evolution and the missing link. Football and other sports appeal to humans’ primitive urges to fight. But, apart from the odd player, we have generally moved away from direct fighting, like our cousins the Bonobos. These players, like the Bonobos, are displaying their genitals in a form of stylised fighting, using hypersexuality as an attempt to intimidate their opponents. Football really is all balls, and occasionally penises as these chaps are trying to show.

  3. Fabric sticks to hot sweaty legs causing restriction of movement. Hiking up pants keeps the fabric from sticking to thighs till the sweat dries. At least that's what I always thought when I saw them doing it
