Dugouts full of girls and singing and dressed up like clowns gives ammunition to critics who don’t think women’s sports can be taken seriously so it was only a matter of time until the NCAA stepped in. If had stopped at rally caps or one or two props I think it would have been fine. I’m sure the NCAA feels if they don’t step in now what’s next? An outright ban though is like the zero tolerance in schools that get kindergartners suspended for bringing bubble guns to school. You’d think they could come to a sensible solution that still allows for some fun.
Exactly, next thing you know someone will punch another player in the face because of an errant slide leading to a discussion of how to make the game more fun again...Yes. Because so many women players are slugging each other, yelling F You! at umpires, and beating up water coolers. ️
