Amen. The t-shirt rule has been on the books for 20+ years and at times the biggest issues we have with it come from our fellow officials. "No one" likes it but "everybody" notices when it isn't enforced.
Some of those who don’t like it use the “participation” argument but it’s not as though the girl in Billy’s scenario was wearing a hard cast or something similar. It’s a t-shirt. The rules allow a t-shirt. One of the primary restrictions is it has to be the main color of the jersey. Red t-shirts – of any size – aren’t exactly hard to come by. Find the player – chunky or no – a red t-shirt and the problem is solved.
