Yeah, I mean it's all interesting and somewhat relevant, but our team's approach is not to really address the legalities, and I'm just not a litigious person anyhow. We want to educate and we do want to address the rules, but we certainly don't want to encourage lawsuits. We'd rather things change before it either gets to that point because someone else has been critically or even fatally injured. I respect Coach Joe more than any college coach I've ever met, he's an accomplished lawyer, and he also has no issues recruiting or playing players with masks. I really wish all of the legal debate would go away ... I personally don't think that's the best way to get things changed.
Oh im not encouraging anyone sue anyone. My original point was more or less about the coach mentioned that wouldn't let girls wear the masks is putting himself/herself in multiple worlds of potential hurtlockers.
I agree with you, I really wish it wasn't a topic (lawsuits) but let's not kid ourselves here, it's a reality of the world we live in today.
There's a bit of an ironic parallel between the mask and legal discussion... A lawsuit for this is as unlikely as actually taking a line drive to the face, but if you haven't protected yourself both are going to really really hurt.
