Tongue Stud (?)

1) The document from NASO is not a legal brief. It is simply a paper.

2) The case you have listed has NO legal backing. It was settled out of court. No it does not only not scare me it makes me laugh. So try again.

3) I have NEVER said that I would or would not tell any player to remove the tongue stud. Any of you that have made that comment either can't read or have no argument with the facts, so you attack the person.

4) I have no problem with the "Big Dogs" on this board fighting for their patch of hardwood but I would think someone would be better and prove to me that in a legal proceeding an official has been found liable for an injury incurred by a player wearing jewelery in a FEDlandia game. That is all I have asked.

5) BTW, I get the exact treatment on this board that I was told I would get when I started posting items that the Basketball "Big Dogs" on this board control.

Have a great day after Christmas.

Tim,

What is your point? Why are you hammering so hard on legal proof. We have a number of lawyers in out local association that frequently tell us that if we knowingly mis-apply or dis-allow a rule and some one is injured, we can be found negligent. Now, has this happened? I don't know maybe, but like someone earlier said why be the first. I realize you are not saying you would allow it to occur, but I am confused why you are so amped about proof. I am sure NO official who sees a tongue stud would not make the player leave the game. I think we all need to be very aware of what could legally happen to us, and if you consider that fear, so be it. I am not losing my house because of HS game.
