We don't ask for the note either, just ask the coaches if everyone is properly dressed. If they say yes, they are saying it is being worn for medical reasons. As long as it is white, black, beige or a single school color, and the same for each team member they are good.

Not if that's his reason.

Agreed. However, his doctor may agree, as well.

Nope. The only way you can wear one is for medical purposes.

a few years ago when we were required to confirm with the coach if a player was wearing an arm sleeve for a medical reason a head coaches response to me, and this is a direct quote, was "yeah, he has a medical reason, he is ****ing retarded!"

Just wondering, but were there any questions about fan-shaped backboards?

I can't answer for you, but I'm pretty sure the reason I'm laughing us that I'm an insensitive @sshole.

Not to judge, disparage, or seemingly lecture from on high to anyone who has commented on this, but this is completely offensive to me. Would this be an acceptable thing to hear/say/laugh about while officiating a team or player with special needs (which I have)? If not, why is it acceptable otherwise?

Just something to think about.

I don't mind being judged, I'll just say that's why I acknowledged that laughing means I'm a bit insensitive. I honestly don't use the term anymore, but for some reason I laugh when it catches me off guard.

Context. Not everything needs to be so PC. Too many people get too worked up over the wrong things...there are much bigger things in life to worry about.

Isn't most humor "offensive" to someone, somewhere? And isn't that why we laugh at things sometimes - because they are offensive? And that's why I said I would need to return to the locker room (or at least step out into the hallway or something).
