Exactly, Z. But it's more fun for IRut to be argumentative.

I think you are a little uptight because the Red Sox are not going to the playoffs.

Also Chuck you are FLAT OUT WRONG about the role of rules interpreters from each state. A state can make rulings and they do make rulings outside of the NF all the time. If that was the case there would have been a girl here a few years ago that would not be allowed to play basketball and sweats because she was Muslim and did not want to wear any shorts or that did not fit the color requirements. I guess I was being argumentative when they made that ruling and issued a statement to every basketball official to allow this even though it did not fit the "NF rules" to the letter. They allowed a girl to wear gray sweats and a long T-shirt because she was Muslim and did not want to show as much skin based on her Muslim Religion. Some officials did not allow her to play (as they should of when using NF rules) and then were told to ignore the rule. The same goes for a male player that is wearing a head dressing that clearly under NF rules is not legal. He has a letter from the IHSA office allowing him to wear this head dressing in order to express his religion. So why are these things OK and your assertion correct? These rulings were issued to tell officials to ignore the strict rule in cases of religious expression and when players and teams had been informed.

I guess you know.
