This was an extracurricular activity. He chose to play. He should abide by the rules instead of whining like a liberal.
Well I wasn’t whining as a Liberal. What I was saying was there were rules for playing and one of them was appearance according to what the school laid out. If he chose to wear his hair the way he wanted and the school said no you can’t then he and his parents can’t complain. Please re-read what I said. There was a time in the Sixties where you had to have this Dobie Gillis (look it up) type look and if you didn’t comply you were ostracized. What I was alluding to was the hair style incident that was reminiscent of that era. Rules are rules. The school set them and if you want to participate in a sport that required you to adhere to them then you have no complaints.
“Render unto Caesar what is Caesars”.

I'm confident there was a handbook of rules, regulations and standards of behavior given to everyone on the team. Either this kid's parents didn't read this handbook or believed that the rules applied only to everyone else. Regardless, they're setting a poor example to their child. Sadly, it's not at all uncommon these days.
