Going too Far?

I think those who "overindulge" on Saturday night are going to have a big surprise.

I'd be more impressed if all NFL employees (coaches, players, officials, league execs, etc) gave 1% of their salaries to cancer research & prevention.

I am not a fan at all. We have had pink every game in October and even last game in sept. It looks bad with orange I know that.

Tsk, tsk. The OHSAA has not approved pink for players or officials. Unless you have an exemption letter, you're in violation.

To me, it's just another fashion fad. I can't get too excited about it either way.

Its getting old and tired and eventually will outlive its usefulness.

I have told my AD that and he said, What are they going to do?

The answer is nothing. A couple of crews even said, you know we are supposed to have a letter from OHSAA for pink. I said, I know. Unless the officials make everyone take it off if unexempt there will be no change, I don't think the officials should have to but like other rules, if they don't enforce, no one will.

The only thing that is enforcable is the towels as by rule they must be white. There is no rule against pink undershirts, pink wristbands, or pink shoes.

NCHSAA is allowing them if the team contacts the state office and the state e-mails them back an exemption. Most of us think that's a bunch of bureaucratic b.s. and would have been better handled by just stating for the month of October, pink towels are approved.

What rule is being broken in this picture?

You're right: nothing that I can see. I was assuming violations of 1-5-3, some of which we've had to correct this year, but they're not pictured.

Many of those guys have on pink towels and pink eyeblack patches(I know pink patches). None were forced to remove them.

When the state I live in specifically tells me to deal with these types of things, I will. As far as towels go, I probably wouldn't do anything about a pink towel, either. And yes, I know what the rule says.

As far as the officials go, I've communicated with our guy in charge and he's perfectly fine with us wearing pink.

Reminds me, I need to coordinate our crew's donation to the BCRF this week since it's our last game. I won't wear pink unless we donate some cash, too.
