Guys were talking about that tonight at our association meeting. Technically correct, but an asshat call that's going to get a lot of negative publicity.

Those things can be taken off, right? They're not like welded shut so you can't take them off, right? (I've only seen people with yellow bands around their wrists, I didn't know what they were - my mom had a POW bracelet during the Vietnam era, I didn't know if this was a newfangled version of that.)

I'm going to make it a point in pregame just to say "Let's avoid all the problems right here and now - the rules say they have to come off, let's take them off and be done with it."
