The opposing coach should be appropriately doxed so that locals can let him know of their displeasure at his actions.

Time to get serious about this crap.

What adult spends the time to write a rule about the size of a flag or emblem allowed on a high school swim cap?


And why would such a rule be even written? What advantage does it give the swimmer wearing it?

My beef is that they waited to complain until after the race. Make your complaint beforehand or suck it up.

I disagree. This is just like the Billy Martin pine tar game. They have professional refs to keep things legal, if the refs miss something and it is pointed out after the fact, it was a violation and should be upheld as a violation.

That being said. I am offended at size restrictions on the American Flag. The rule seems to be BS.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Unless it’s for cheating during the competition, all technical uniform challenges should have been adjudicated by the event organizers before the starting blocks are mounted. As a coach,If you are going to eliminate a person for a uniform violation, you have to give a chance for me , the coach, to put my substitute on the starting blocks, or in this case, give him a team swim cap. I coached HS swimming for two years and all of my swimmers and divers knew that if you were going to compete, you better wear our school provided swim cap. What you wore when you weren’t competing was pretty much up to you as long as it didn’t have an alcohol, tobacco or porno brand on it. I actually had to zing one 17 yr old who put on a Jose Quervo hoody on when we were getting our team picture taken. No effing way. The next practice I sent him over to run laps with the football cutups so he wouldn’t forget the rules. 26 girls, and the 4 smartest guys in school, then 1 yoyo. In August and September in Florida you can run around with 120 others sweaty guys trying out for football or spend time with 26 girls in the pool. like I said the 4 smartest guys.

They also stole the word “gay”. It was such a pleasant word before.

I didn’t remember any NCAA rules limiting flag sizes, and there aren’t any having just reread the latest NCAA (2022-2023) uniform rules, so it must be a state of New Jersey rule. The NCAA only limits manufacturers logos to 2 1/4 square inches, which is basically a 2x1 area with a little wiggle room. They don’t address team or school logos. or US or State Flags. New Jerseys, where everything is ( fill in your word of choice) up.

The American sheeple has been putting up with this crap for 60 years, so there is no basis for complaint...

”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...

No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...

The Aamerican people now understand that the First Amendment calls for them to:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

Yup; and a lot of people on this forum allow it to continue by using the word “gay” instead of the proper description of SODOMITE or QUEER!

Perhaps it’s just to many letters to type.

The “cap was too large and in violation.” Wow. I don’t remember that being on the list of Ten Commandments. Reminds of the time I got a parking ticket, because I reversed the car into the parking space. The ticket said, “Front forward only.” Wow.
