charity pin {MLB, sorry}
This might be buried in that 39 page off-topic baseball thread, but in a sport's context in general, I think the MLB's decision to forbid Biggio from continuing to wear a charity pin on his cap is a poor decision. The following article sums it up well:

What motivated this to be addressed? |
Would you like it if someone wanted to support a charity or an issue that you do not agree with? In my opinion this is not the place for that kind of expression.

and then we would have nudity which is probably better than anarchy |
this would be a perfect time to run over to the baseball page and mess with them over a completely inane rule and tell them how stupid it is! :eek:

So if I wore something that had a political edge to it, that would be OK? What about the Dufar crisis? What about PETA? What about something associated with the war in Iraq?
Where and when does it stop? Peace |

Celebrities are always taking up causes that aren't exactly universally supported. This is for kids with cancer. Is there really anyone who's backing cancer in this fight? |

It was striking to me because of what I highlighted and underlined in the OP, but whatever. |

Anyway, I'm sure it's not the issue of this particular charity. It's the issue of where to draw the line, and who gets to make that decision. So, instead of someone having to approve what is allowed, and what isn't (a full-time position, with a part-time staffer needed...), they just say none at all. Makes it a lot simpler. |

Because of that, maybe we should advertise and get more of these cute ones on the forum? |

Except for that Cubs thingy...... Note that this isn't a problem for NCAA and NFHS sports. You just ain't gonna wear <b>anything</b> unless the rulesmakers have specifically OK'd it. |
