But yeah, we used to have to take off barrettes and stuff sometimes too. Never consistently.<BR/><BR/>(As an aside: I have never understood those people who show up for games all blinged up and wait for the referee to make them take it all off. You KNOW you're not allowed to wear jewellery, so why fuck around and delay things? So annoying.)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05255751637759715726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17663213.post-27741136524057823702007-03-02T12:01:00.000-05:002007-03-02T12:01:00.000-05:00Don't forget Arsenal losing to PSV in Champions Le...Don't forget Arsenal losing to PSV in Champions League. I know it's kind of old news at this point, but I feel that three results makes for a nice round tale of woe.<BR/><BR/>I heard about the hijab thing too, and the thing I wondered is if this girl, like so many girls do on a day to day basis, had her hijab fastened with pins of some kind. Because I can see how that would fall under the dangerous jewelry/adornment rule. Although it was never enforced consistently when I was a kind, I do remember sometimes they made girls take out metal barettes and stuff. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, it is perfectly possible to wear a hijab for sports without those sort of fastenings. Just the other day I watched a German newsclip about at team for girls of Morrocan heritage in the Netherlands, and several of the girls featured wore the hijab. It was just a sort of sport version that was wrapped tight instead of the longer, drapey type that needs to be pinned in place. Makes sense to me, I wore a bandanna a lot when I played on my high school team (as did several of my teammates), and no one ever had a problem with that.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07299061938569723096noreply@blogger.com
