Chewing Gum

[Spaman_29]

Oh my gosh I am totally blown away by this. Why on earth would you ever care if someone is chewing gum? Why would you look? If they are going to chew gum then so be it. How can this impose a safety hazard. Yea so they swallow it - PLEASE!
An official who goes looking or attempting to stop this type of situation is asking to light a match at a gasoline factory - it can only blow up in your face!
You are there to facilitate the game in a fair, equal, and intelligent manner. This is defiantly not intelligent!
