The most substantial change, of course, is that suits would no longer be allowed to extend past the knee.
My personal opinion is this is sort of an arbitrary change. What really should be changed--if anything--is what types of materials are allowed and maybe testing protocol to approve a suit. I don't really think requiring suits to end at the knees would affect much.
Hey ThewookieeConsidering the very poor state of the U.S. educational system, it wouldn’t be an absurd idea at all to just drop athletics at all publically financed institutions. Of course there would be howling and crying so the country will continue down the path to economic oblivion. :badday:Dolphin 2
That's pretty funny...almost as good as saying maybe we just need to toss more money into education without fundmentally changing the entire broken system...a system that starts with the absurd idea that somehow "failing" is not a possiblity and social promotion is the norm...here's a better idea...bring back mandatory physical education, encourage all kids particpate in one after school sport, get all junk food/vedning machines out of all schools and stop with the ridicolous banning of games of tag because someone loses..and maybe we'll see an increase in self discipline, self respect and possibly a decrease in childhood obesity.
