Why take a chance that the state might disagree with you when you really don't have to? Doesn't make sense to me. But....that's just me.

Sometimes when you stick to the rules strange things happen too.

I was approached once before a JH game by a coach asking permission to allow a player to play with a braided thread bracelet on because it was religious. I told him that while I appreciated his player's devotion, he couldn't play if he was wearing it around his wrist (I did suggest taping it to his chest under his jersey). At the start of the game, the player came out sans bracelet and said to me "I really didn't care either way."
