Ok little jr...
...do what your interpreter tells you to do, I certainly would. (Well, most of the time)
Anyway, I believe Z and I (from the same state btw) were talking about shirts removed because of blood and because the official told the players to remove their shirts. IMO, this is much different than a player removing his/her shirt because of frustration, etc...that is clearly unsporting...whereas, removing a shirt because an official advised you to is not unsporting. Yea, I guess it could be offensive to some...but, I put it in another catagory.
As I said, I'll see what our State Interpreter's philosophy is with regards to blood shirt removal...and go from there.
