Impossible? Absolutely not.
I was talking about an issue (how can you continue to say the "we were never talking about" it, we were, I'm part of we, a dues paying, esteemed, member in good standing, of the Forum), and I don't appreciate being ignored, especially with responses that indicate that my posts have been read, but, never the less, ignored as if they didn't exist. And if you want to ignore my post, then you are certainly free to do so, but be sure to really ignore the post, a sure sign that the post was ignored would be a nonresponse to the post.
And I don't believe that I should be called on the carpet for expanding the scope, while still very much on topic, of a thread.
Why do you continue to insist on not broaching, or responding to, the subject of color restrictions for undershirts? It's certainly on topic: NFHS color restrictions for uniforms, and equipment.
Color restrictions should make the game easier to officiate. Those color restrictions that don't make the game easier to officiate should be stricken from the rulebook. From the waist, to the neck, not including the wrists, I believe that members of the same team should be wearing the same color. I don't care what they wear on their heads, on their wrists, and below the waist. Thus, all team members should be wearing the same color jerseys, with undershirts the same color as the jersey, since undershirts can give the appearance of a (legal) long sleeve jersey.
NFHS color restrictions on headbands, wrist bands, compression shorts, and leg sleeves, only make the game harder, not easier, to officiate by creating conflicts between an official, the players, the coaches, and sometimes, the official's partner. NFHS color restrictions that don't make the game easier to officiate, make it harder to officiate.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but, I really don't see any disagreement between us on this issue?
Are we still not talking about undershirts? If we weren't before, we certainly are now.
