Illegal Shaving?

Maryland My Christmas Tree WHY WE LOSE

“ Illegal Shaving Maryland swim team retroactively loses county title because of bizarre shaving violation A Maryland girls swimming team has had its county championship title retroactively stripped for one of the more bizarre retroactive punishments to come down in recent years: It was deemed that improper shaving had occurred That's right, improper shaving. Not shaving points mind you, but shaving of body hair. And, as it turns out, if the unnamed player implicated had only shaved a couple hours earlier, she and her teammates would still have their county title. The reason why the NFHS institutes a no shaving on-site policy is to protect the swimmers themselves from possible blood transmission or, in general, doing full body shaves in high school locker rooms, which would maximize the possibility of unsafe practices like sharing razors.  [Full Absurdity] My first instinct was to absolve Maryland of this nincompoopery, but no.  A hallmark of nanny-statism is the creation and enforcement of laws conducive to a risk-free, antiseptic world.  So, while this particular "illegal shaving" law may not seem to be their responsibly, it is.   We have by our votes,  created, coddled, and enabled a culture which has made these absurdities possible.  Blame then, lady swimmers, your Liberal state's policies for this loss.  And never-ever vote for a Democrat, so that others may live free of such fears and encumbrances. ”   greg s
