An you thought Scrooge was bad
Who ever said that no good deed goes unpunished was oh so right. When a group of Washington high school football officials decided to donate their pay checks to the Susan G. Koman foundation for breast cancer research and to use pink whistles at the next game, little did they know that they would be fined for not being in proper attire because they did not ask permission first.
Breast cancer, which is the second largest killer of women, means that few of us have not been touched by this disease. You would think that they would have been commended for this act o charity, but NO the Chairperson of the Washington Officials Association, Todd Stordahl, feels he must discipline them to give the right message to student players. I guess the wrong message would be you can’t do anything good unless you first get permission. If the two game suspensions go through the refs will not be able to officiate the season top games and that will also mean they will loose two additional paychecks.
How the heck can this man be so shortsighted that he could do this to people trying to do a good thing? If we are to beat breast cancer we need to keep research going. We are winning but we are not there yet.
