Rule on tights...or not

[ChuckElias]

Why is this suddenly a pissing contest? Tom made a tiny typo. He said the tights do not come above the knee and he meant that they do not come below the knee, which is obvious if you look at the pic he posted.

The point is it looks illegal because the socks extend so high, but it's not illegal.

No, the point is that if someone states that the compression shorts do not come above the knee, then those compression shorts are illegal, by rule. That ain't a "tiny typo", that's the difference between wearing legal and illegal apparel.

I didn't start a pissing contest. I made a post using my own observation- that I couldn't see any official not looking to see whether anything was illegal or not before sending a player out. That was my opinion and I'll stick with it, whether Tom likes it or not.

And....the point is that I also really don't have a clue whether Tom made a typo or not...and neither do you. He hasn't said so, has he? He might just not know the rule; it wouldn't be the first time. I answered using Tom's exact words. If Tom posts a completely different situation, as in wearing compression shorts that come above the knee, then my answer would be different too.

Not to be a nudge, but yes I do. How do I know it was a typo? I looked at the picture he posted that clearly shows the compression shorts above Wade's knee and his knee exposed.
