Any time I have had a player found with gum, he goes out of the game until the problem is rectified. More often than not, they will swallow it.
The old fake injury thing has been around forever, I always have concern for player safety, thus a substitution is going to be required.....if the player is down, the coach is coming out at my request.
You know what I mean?
I am really amazed at the vociferous objection to establishing your own authority to control the game by members here.
If you think it is a problem, don't allow it. We did this before the rule was established for the fingernail issue (when was that?).
Staying ahead of possible trouble is part of game management.
Call your game and it will be your game.
