Since the NFHS is increasing our role as the "Fashion Police", do we get badges?



By the way, as a former player, and coach, I'm all for players looking "uniform", after all, they're part of a team, and remember, "There's no I in team", but, for the most part, "fashion" issues should be the coach's, or athletic director's, job, not the officials job. On the other hand, some consider officials to be the caretakers of the game. This issue gives me an overly officious official headache. I need to take a couple of aspirOOOins.

Snaqwells: Great Line. Thanks for reminding me about one of the greatest lines in movie history.

From "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" with Humphrey Bogart. In one of the scenes in the movie a Mexican bandit leader (Gold Hat played by Alfonso Bedoya) is trying to convince Fred C. Dobbs (played by Bogart) and company that they are the Federales.

Dobbs: 'If you're the police where are your badges?'
Gold Hat: 'Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!'

I was quoting Blazing Saddles.

Once upon a time I actually went to see Weird Al in concert. Massey Hall in Toronto, circa 1997.

One of my alltime favorite movies.

In the 1974 Mel Brooks film Blazing Saddles, probably the most famous parody of the line is delivered. Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman) is interviewing a line of criminals in order to deputise them so that they can terrorize a town. The line is filled with stereotypical criminals, from bikers to robed Klansmen. A group of Mexicans dressed in sombreros and bandoleros step up to him. He speaks to them briefly, hires them and tries to hand them deputy badges: "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!"
