Caref, I don't think you told us what the kids were wearing.

That aside, all you folks that are worried about getting
sued should think about this: if a player has a religous
obligation to wear an article of clothing and you deny him
entry to the game then you are in fact discriminating on
the basis of religion. As such you open yourself and your
association to federal prosecution. All it takes is
one coach who happens to know one creative DA...or even
worse he might know a newspaper reporter looking for
something to fill a column with. And this is much bigger than any civil case will ever be.

Bottom line, let the kid play. If it seems weird, inform
the opposing coach. Almost all coaches will not have a
problem with it, unless the head dress in question happens
to sit on top of a 6'8" 245 lb baskeball machine.
