CLEVELAND, Ohio - The age old sports practice of NFL
football players wearing a baseball cap on the sidelines and during
locker room post game interviews is coming to an end.
A Class 1
lawsuit has been filed in the third district appellate court of
Cleveland, Ohio mandating that baseball caps will no longer be allowed
to be worn by NFL players on the sidelines, on the benches, or in the
locker rooms.
The lawsuit was filed in behalf of Johnny Ruxton,
a utility infielder with the Cleveland Indians. Ruxton said, "I just
got sick and tired of everytime that I was watching a football game on
TV and the camera would pan to the sidelines, there was some football
player, usually the quarterback, wearing a baseball cap.
And
to be honest, I think that it is degrading, offensive, and it is an
insult to every professional baseball player in America as well as
Latin America."
Ruxton stated, "In my eyes, the football players
are disrespecting a piece of Americana; our sacred baseball uniform.
And I am going to help put a stop to it.
And the worst offenses
occur after some team has just won a playoff game, or a championship
game, or even the Super Bowl where they spray champagne all over each
other and on their caps.
Every time that they show the players
being interviewed in the locker room, most of them are wearing baseball
caps. I mean think about it, have you ever seen a baseball player
sitting in the dugout wearing a football helmet? No.
Have you ever seen a baseball player wearing a football helmet out in the bullpen? No.
And
have you ever seen a baseball player wearing a football helmet in the
locker room after his team has just won a playoff game, a championship
game, or the World Series? No."
Someone asked Ruxton if
football coaches would be allowed to wear baseball caps? "Hell no!!!
Ruxton replied, "No one associated with an NFL football team in any
way, shape, or form will be allowed to wear baseball caps...not
football players, not football coaches, not even the gorgeously
attractive cheerleaders, as sweet and sexy as they are.
Every
Major League baseball manager wears a baseball cap, so I truly feel
that every NFL football coach should wear a football helmet.
And
while we're talking about it, I really feel that an NFL football coach
should wear a full football uniform, complete with cleats, just like a
baseball manager wears a full uniform. And if the football coach
doesn't want to wear a uniform on the sidelines then he should turn in
his resignation.
Ruxton was asked if he has received any threats from anyone because of his hard line stance not to mention his lawsuit.
Ruxton
replied, "Oh yeah, I've received treats from several NFL football
players. And one of them was so stupid that I guess he forgot that his
cell phone number showed up on my cell phone screen."
