Chewing Gum

[rgaudreau]

I see I`ve opened up quite the can of worms here.

My point, and I did have one, is that chewing gum could become a choking hazard.

There is a reason why countless phys ed teachers around the country don`t allow chewing gum in their gyms. Believe it or not, but it`s not to protect the floors. Custodians have become quite good at removing gum from hardwood.

As a coach, I wouldn`t give my players gum during a game. As an official, judging by the reactions this thread has garnered here, I won`t be looking for it in games that I`m officiating either.
