“Accepted”

The way you ask the question seems to more be asking about societal acceptance of only having one outfit, not necessarily logistics of it. If people saw you in the same outfit every day they would think that you were dirty and not washing your clothing and so they would think that it’s gross. Even if you could manage to wash the outfit every day, your clothes would break down quickly and you would soon have very tattered and raggedy clothing which would also make people think you’re dirty and gross.

Because it is not sanitary for the same clothes to be worn every day. Skin cells, sweat, dirt, hair and other things make clothes dirty after multiple wearings. It is a waste of time to do laundry every day, so you need multiple pieces of each clothing (several pants, shirts etc.)

While you CAN just get identical pieces of each shirt, it is very uncommon. People like to have variety and options so nearly everyone gets different clothes. They also need different clothing for different situations. Few clothing choices work well for ALL of the following situations: the beach in summer, a job interview, a funeral, a wedding, and a snowball fight.

Wearing the same green shirt every day makes people wonder “How long has he been wearing that shirt? It must smell. Does he ever wash it? How many dead skin cells are on there?” It makes people go down a rabbit hole of “ick.”

However, if you choose to do that, it’s your right.

You can if you choose, it's just something that is considered socially.. different? I don't want to say unacceptable or taboo, but there is reasoning. Build up of sweat and bacteria on your clothes and body makes it smell, that smell is typically offensive to other people even if you can't smell it, many other people do. I for example wear very much the same outfit day to day, but different sets, and wash other once a week. When I was lower income I would stretch out how long or how many times a week I wore a set of clothes. Now I am able to buy several pairs of the same jeans, so I can have clean other every day, but still feel comfortable in what I'm wearing. IT technically is societal construct, you can wear what you want tbf. People may just look at you funny if they notice you wearing the exact same thing every day and notice it get dirtier, like if you work next to the same people every day.

Having only one pair of clothes makes doing laundry very difficult because you have to be naked.

Additionally, many places have climates which are not appropriate for some outfits and there’s not a good one that fits all the seasons.

Another problem is microbial growth, even with washing, this can be an issue, especially in underwear.

It’s best to have multiple items if possible.

Holding is done on every play too, and that's against the rules. It's all about not getting caught. Plus, most of the push piles happen at the line of scrimmage whereas the runner starts behind. The offense is trying to push the defense back, not the runner forward... Mostly. If they waited to start pushing until the rubber was in front, the play would be over. So I think they can get away with a little bit of pulling the runner along with them. What I do know for sure is that vaulting off your teammates (and I think the word is such that being thrown by your teammate also counts) is very illegal, and very hard to hide.

Automatics don't have a clutch, they have a fluid coupler, torque converter. Think of it like 2 fans facing each other. The fan attached to the engine is always spinning and blowing on the second fan which makes it spin. Since there is no direct connection you can hold the brake and stop one of the fans.

These old Army Corp film reels are great for learning about mechanical systems. Here's a film about torque converters. https://youtu.be/leCEmJA0WsI

Its an illegal play, otherwise this likely would be employed in short yardage situations to catapult players over the line.

". . .but the runner shall not grasp a teammate and no other player of his team shall grasp, push, lift or charge into him to assist in gaining forward progress."

How far do they figure a person can be thrown and at what kind of launch angle? The defense will kill that man. Even if the person could get thrown decently far, how often will that weak person fumble the ball when they get railed by the defense?

Theoretically, what OP is proposing is legal. But there’s a reason why we don’t see it happen.

When you bring the tiny guy onto the field, it would become obvious what you're about to do. And you only have 3 tries to add up to 10 yards gained. It would be very hard to average over 3 yards of forward progress past the line of scrimmage with the other team fully aware of what's coming and lining all their own big guys up front-and-center to block the flying little person (or interrupt the hammer-throw process, which would take a few seconds to set up after the snap).
