When keeping it real goes wron wrote:
Since you're keeping it real, how 'bout if you come back down to earth and join us in reality. Because your illustration of the DQ for wearing headphones ain't gonna happen even in the most remote of possibilities. It could; but it won't. The RD has discretion to DQ whomever he or she chooses based on judgment. Running a foot race is not a constitutional right.
....I wouldn't want them to be DQ'd for headphones, and I'm not advocating that they should be.....you are missing my point, just take a breath , step outside yourself for a minute and look at it objectively as I am . You want integrity, and following of rules etc etc, I agree with that 100% .... however someone who is in the position of making this DQ decision , could look at my statement and say , "ya know what? , if we DQ Rossi for lack of evidence, yet we have evidence of people who clearly committed an infraction , and we don't DQ them as well , then that makes us look really incompetent and un fair" ....Discretion or not , be careful what you wish for , you might just get it , and then some !
