There was a game earlier in the year where a team admitted to wearing illegal cleats after the game was over (not our game). It was the front page of a media paper story. Some mom's went out and bought longer cleats than the rules allowed and no one mentioned it during the game and was only discovered after the fact. So this is what he was referring to and many crews talked about how we were not going looking for this issue. In other words, a coach would have to make it an issue and we are not checking every player to determine if the cleats used were a centimeter longer than rules allowed.
