Whatinthehell has all of this got to do with us?

We don't make the rules. We don't decide the penalties. We just do what we're we're paid to do. And we're paid not to ignore plainly written rules.

If it's a crappy rule, pin the blame on the clowns who made the rule. It's got absolutely NOTHING to do with the officiating of the individual sport. It's got EVERYTHING to do with the the rulesmakers of that particular sport.

The real uniform police are the goobers who installed this rule. Just wanted to make that clear.

Exclamation

From the story:

"In 1992, North Country’s Andy Oliver set a state record in the boys javelin but his throw of 199 feet, 3 inches was erased when he was disqualified for being out of uniform after a coach brought the infraction to the officials’ attention."

So this kid participated nude?!?!?! It's a good thing he wasn't on their javelin catching team!
