An issue happen at youth Pop Warner Jamboree this past weekend, when a player was observed with eye contacts of a very strange nature. They were all white with a black X on them. When you looked at the players eyes you could not see his pupils. His eyes are all wihte with Black X's in the middle.

The sideline official made the player remove the contacts for safety reasons. He stated if the player is injured, the official or attending EMT would not be able to look into the players eyes.

The parents of this player were very irate about their son having to remove the contacts. They demand to know what rule this falls under. They feel the child (12) Pop Warner player is being signaled out. Their son is needs contacts to help him see and without these contact he can not play.

The town director dosn't know how to handle this the coachs and team mates enjoy it. They call him crazy eyes.

This is crazy do we now police such things. Should a doctors note permitting be required? Is this taunting?

The season is about to start this coming weekend, and the football commissioner is trying to make a logical decision

Any feed back?
