Why are rules necessary in sport?

Answer 1

A simple example would be American football. If you do not wear all the necessary clothing (ie. guards etc.) you will suffer great damage to your body when your opponents do. Not wearing soccer shoes for soccer can result you slipping and falling on the turf, or injuring your leg as grip is lacking. As for clothing like shirts and shorts, wearing long shorts would make it dangerous for a sprinter, unless it is skin tight. Wearing abrasive material for sports that require great amounts of free movement like soccer would also result in abrasion on the body, making sport more dangerous.

Answer 2

Having (and following) rules in sports reduces the likelihood of an injury by disallowing and/or penalizing actions that carry a high risk of causing injury.

For example, in American football it is illegal to pull on the face mask of another player. That's because of the high risk of causing a serious neck injury, up to and including permanent paralysis, by grabbing the helmet and yanking the head forward and downward.
