Going too Far?

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

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.

So what? Why do YOU care?

Rich, I think he's reporting, not complaining. I think he's posting photos of his own team.

Of course, it might be a complaint about officials not enforcing OHSAA regs, which would be in character for him.

He doesn't quite understand the difference in officials not knowing the rules and feeling they have more important things to worry about.

Just posting what we had on. I don't like it but it is what it is. I think if the OHSAA has a policy then it should be followed by all involved but none of that is my call.
