Tinted Shield Rule Being Fought in WI....

An albino child playing in the AAYFL here in WI is apparently challenging the tinted shield rule. A friend of mine is the head of Park & Rec in a WI city and the issue has been covered the last 3 days locally and apparently will air on Milwaukee TV stations tonight. He called a few days back when this issue arose to get my take and the official rulings (NFHS per WIAA and AAYFL Rulings) regarding the use of a tinted face shield, which most if not all of you know, is illegal equipment per NFHS and Youth league rules for obvious reasons regarding a head/neck issue.

Apparently sunglasses or goggles that are removable, thus legal, aren't good enough for this lad and his family and they're taking it up to the next level.

If you live in WI or get the news from here....stay tuned. I'll post any links I can regarding the story. If any of you have had similar issues anywhere, I'd like to hear them.
