It isn't really egg shaped though, since eggs are usually flatter on one side, I might go along with calling it handpod though.

Hand something. It should be called hand something. The foot is used a few times per game. It'd be like calling running handstanding because the runners touch the ground with their hands at the starting blocks.

I picture a league where the ball and goal only exist in AR, maybe multiple goals on different planes or something even, and you experience the sensation of kicking/headering/etc. via 'ware. Make for a neat twist, since it's makes playing soccer akin to swinging a lightsaber.

Yeah, sissy or baby rugby sounds accurate. Maybe children's rugby to be a bit more PC.

why do they need all those pads? so that when 300lb dudes who are all muscle can attempt to kill each other through bodily kinetic strikes injuries are minimized and deaths rare. Note that it is so they can increase the energy of tackles primarily not decrease injuries primarily. if injuries were the real concern they would take away the pads and the refs would be tougher.
