I am surprised, however, that I didn't get anyone worked up about the school and possibly the officials being involved in a potential lawsuit by the injured boys family.

One poster said don't play the game if you weren't comfortable with the situation.

I would play the game, as many others already have, but advise game management about the situation. They might not even be aware of the possible hazard.

I can hear the lawyer now:
"So Mr. Referee...you knew there was a hazard, but yet you played the game anyway...knowing someone could be possibly be injured."

My attorney:
"That is the school's responsibility to have a safe playing atmosphere."

Judge:
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury...you decide."

Whew!
