Don't even think about invoking the elastic clause with regard to players chewing gum. In my humble opinion, chewing gum while playing any sport execpt golf and bowling is dangerous. I will not let our sons chew gum while playing basketball, baseball, football, swimming, or gymnastics. BUT, if you try to keep players from chewing gum while playing basketball or any other sport, you are just going to bring a world of hurt on yourself.
