OT - OSAA gone too PC?

Some of the stuff in that list is mild in comparison to what I heard once at a state tournament game several years ago. Big city school (predominately black-we'll call them school A) playing school from the next big city (predominately white-we'll call them school B). For the sake of identity and obviousness, I'm not even going to mention the gender of the tournament being played. School A starts a chant, something in reference to their players being much quicker and better shooters. I can't remember exact words, but it was a bit of a "we're better than you" kind of attitude to it. School B comes back with a "Who's Your Daddy?" chant with an aristocratic snootiness in the chant. I never saw so many administrators from a school converge on the student body so fast!

"Especially the part about him being against your interp of the new rules."

It is not "my" interp . . . it is the interpretation of the OSAA as given by Cindy Simmons (Assistant Executive Director of the OSAA) at the State Baseball Commissioners meeting.

JMO -
Schools compete for more than just the final score. The spectators want to show more support than the other teams spectators. When the support gets to negative actions, even the "just a little negative" actions, how do you show more support? By doing the same thing (that would be a tie score) or something a little more negative (my teams spectators won). How does this not escalate?

If you remove all the negativity (picture Donald Southerlland in Kelly's Heros as I just did and you will get a laugh), escalation should only harm your ears.
That would be a perfect world, which we don't live in. So, should we allow negativity and just remove that which exceeds the officials limits? Who likes doing that?

It is mush easier to officiate the game while listening to fans cheering for their own team as opposed to thinking "am I going to have to get game admin to remove the bozo in the second row".

" . . . but somehow you attack me . . ."

Please show me were I "attacked" you.

"I think you've exagerated a bit here."

Let me see I "exagerated" just where? I tried to explain the reasoning behind the OSAA ruling. Nothing more.

I agree with the rules and that, somehow, makes me the bad guy.

Go figger . . .

Like all "moral" judgments, no matter where the line is drawn, some will say it's too severe and some will complain it's too lax.
