He told me that today Fed umps in NJ are supposed to observe the handshake line and not leave until it's over and the teams have separated. Apparently fights have broken out, so NFHS now wants the hand-shaking supervised.
This is not meant to sound sarcastic, but at what point do we realize we can't police everything that goes on out there? Have we become too nanny-ized?
