Bare and/or painted chests to be a thing of the past?
A story off the AP wire:
- Wisconsin fans of high school sports may soon get this message: Show
your team spirit, but don't expose anything else. The sportsmanship committee of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association recommended banning fans with bare or painted chests from indoor games last month. The proposal will take effect if a committee of state athletic directors OKs it and the association's Board of
Control approves it June 19. "People say, 'Hey, we are attempting to take the fun out of high school sports.' That isn't the intention at all," Tom Shafranski, assistant director of the association, said. -
Hmmmmmm. Good idea, or not? Personally, bare or painted chests can be artistically clever. No problem here.
Instead, how about just controlling those fanatics whose insensitive antics block vision and threaten ear drums of those whose intent to enjoy the event lacks their fervor?
