It is everyone's responsibility in enforcing the rules to use common sense. None of us should enforce the rules to the letter. We need to enforce the rules understanding the intent. In this case they ignored the intent of the required equipment rule and decided to apply the rule literally. Why they did that is beyond me. Only they know. Was it because they felt it was their duty to "protect the kid" ? Was it because they did not want thye "spectacle" of a legless player on the field? Was it because they just wanted to "act with authority" ?
