Peace
Could you please tell me what rule specifically prevents players from throwing a ball around during a conference or when an injury has occurred and players are being replaced? Your post says the " rules are specific " and I know of none. I would like to have them if you can provide them. It will not change my opinion, but if it is a rule that needs enforcing, it would change my attitude.

Also, in one sentence you state " First of all this is a safety issue. " Then in the next paragraph you state " it is not your responsibility to keep players from getting hurt. " Then in your final paragraph you state " . . this is about safety ( mainly my own )." This final statement says
" mainly " your own but not COMPLETELY your own so I guess that means someone else's safety as well - the players, the coaches, the fans? So I guess I want to ask. Which is it?
I fought this battle in a previous post and realized I was wrong. I still feel I was wrong, but I am curious why you feel you have FED support on your position. Please provide that for me.

Thanks.
