It's Not Whether You Win Or Lose, It's How You Look

Kids' sports suck when adults get too involved. Take the high school right around here whose girls' basketball team made the playoffs but now has to forfeit its win and be banished from the playoffs, all because of a Critical Uniform Violation: They wore jerseys with pink letters and numbers for cancer awareness -- which is tied into the coaches' association's campaign. But California high school rules are, to the league bosses, rules, and so the kids get penalized for something that has NO bearing on the games and NO rational reason to be enforced like this. Admonish them? Okay, if you must. But making them forfeit and go home for doing a nice thing is just tone-deaf. UPDATE: Someone came to his or her senses and the team's been reinstated. All's well...
