coach neil-

with all due respect...

1) i dont see how this specific individual being a visitor to the country applies. we arent talking about the right to vote, we're talking about competing in a high school sport. plus, their are muslim americans who i'm sure have the same belief.

2) when you say, "this is our country and not theirs" apperantly you are refferring to foreign visitors. but once again, with immigration and the already existing muslim american culture this country belongs to all skin colors and creeds.

3) i really wish people would stop bringing up our soldiers in iraq over these issues. this kid and other situations like this have nothing to do with the war we are in and there is no connection whatsoever.

4) whats it hurting if the rule changes? isn't the point of high school sports to get kids involved? especially those with talent. i could totally understand if the rule effected the way the match was wrestled, but i can't see how this does. the "follow the rules" thing doesnt always work anymore. rules are changed all the time. and they should be, because we should always be working to improve.
