Shoes

If you got that big white stripe on, it's about you. Don't give me that crap about it's more comfortable. It's more comfortable because of that big white swoosh and nobody else has it. I agree that the shoe don't make the official. The thing about it is where do you draw the line. If we're going to let that go, than why don't we just let the players wear their shirt tails out? Pants below the hips, etc.

So they have a white stripe on them...big friggin' deal....now if they were all white I might have to agree with you.

Don't go there. I worked with a guy who had on white shoes once and it wasn't in volleyball! He was about as good as you would expect a guy wearing white shoes to be! (No he wasn't, I was trying to be polite!)
