I was surprised today to find out that a Chicago high school basketball team had been assessed a technical - at the very start of a tournament game - because their basketball uniforms.... had an illegal stripe.
And I'm thinking... what?
We've got kids running around in baggy shorts extending past their knees, that look absolutey stupid, like they're swimming in fabric (how many poor people could be clothed if the excess fabric was removed from basketball shorts and made into shorts for them????) and yet they're penalized because a stripe on the jersey went horizontally around the chest instead of vertically at the sides?
Scary.
