With this kind of thinking from the leadership in Illinois, I can understand why Rut is so screwed up.

I can respect that Kurt doesn't personally agree with the official NFHS interpretation of this play, but he needs to state that until he is able to work with the NFHS committee to get it changed that ruling and NOT his personal interpretation is controlling and is what should be followed by officials.

He is not more important than the NFHS.

Nevada,

You are right. We should all bow down to the NF and anything they want. No dissention what so ever or suffer severe consequences. Sounds a lot like the Nazis and Communist governments from where I am standing.

Peace

I'm surprised you didn't also mention the KKK. :rolleyes: While your at it would you also like to blame WWII on the NFHS?

The point is that an individual can disagree all he wants with the establishment. That is certainly his right in this country, but while doing so, he still has to respect the established authority. When people stage political protests they do so under certain regulations and also are prepared to pay the consequences for their actions. That was always the way MLK advocated in his peaceful protests during the Civil Rights movement.

It seems to me that this Kurt guy is doing neither. He is not paying proper respect to the NFHS rules committee and their already issued ruling, nor does he seem to be taking any action through the proper channels to get what he disagrees with changed. Instead he is just saying "I'm right, they're wrong, and I'm going to do what I want." That's a very childish view for an adult in a position of authority to take in my opinion.

You had to mention the KKK and MLK in a thread that IRut has already chimed in on. Would you like some gasoline with that fire?

Nope, but we're probably gonna need some popcorn. :D
