Rules are rules.
Thank you Mayor Bloomberg.
Zero tolerance. And any kid who points a French fry at another kid and says "bang" should be expelled and arrested. /s
Yep...and if we keep it up...all of us will violate one of these idiotic PC rules eventually...including you.
Some day you are going to get busted with a weapon (when they've been outlawed)...but you should have known better 'cause "rules are rules."
The Bill of Rights and our Constitution RULES! I can hear the money coming. What a bunch of stupid whimps!!!
The assertion is that judgment was used to punish this religious act. The judge simply ruled that an act was disrespectful in his opinion and used his power to DQ.
IMO, such a drastic consequence requires clear evidence and explanation ... not simply a declaration “in the judge’s opinion, the athlete was disrespectful” with the only clarifying information being “the athlete raised his hand”...
Rules are rules.

“But, after all, I did break one of your laws.”
“Well, what do you think they’re for?”
Dr. Ferris did not notice the sudden look on Rearden’s face, the look of a man hit by the first vision of that which he had sought to see. Dr. Ferris was past the stage of seeing; he was intent upon delivering the last blows to an animal caught in a trap.
“Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against - then you’ll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now, that’s the system, Mr. Rearden, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”
The rule says arms, from what I read he raised one arm.
