Every state should what? I wrote that "Ohio adds nothing to that." Are you saying that, like Ohio, every state should add nothing to the FED rule?

Baseball spikes are not cleats where I come from.

You said "FED prohibits using track spikes. Ohio adds nothing to that". I said "every state should".

Every state should prohibit track spikes. Ohio adds nothing to the FED prohibition nor should any other state.

Baseball spikes are not cleats where I come from either, and thus the point of this discussion.

Where I come from:

baseball spikes = metal spikes about half inch wide and half inch long
track spikes = metal spikes about 3/4 inch long and 1/8" round
football cleats = round, about half inch in diameter and 1/2 to 3/4 inch long.

There are quite a few players who wear hard plastic spike shoes. Nothing special about metal, other than the sound they make across a concrete floor.
