Flag Football Rip Off!

Porter had another Flag Football game on Saturday. It was the only game that Jeron couldn't be to any of the game because Jaxon's game was in Woods Cross at the same time. Right toward the beginning of the game Porter took a hand off and ran all the way down for his first TD! I happened to get this picture right at the beginning and then didn't get any more because I was too busy screaming for him to run!

After he ran it all the way down and had the touch down some people from the other team started yelling that he shouldn't have been carrying the ball because he had red shorts on. You know I can see the logic in that, but our team had not been told about this rule. But they still took the TD away from Porter! The ref's came up to our coach and told him that the TD wouldn't count and Porter couldn't run the ball anymore this game. I was fine with him not running the ball anymore that game, but to take away his TD! You don't take it away! You either make sure all the coaches know the rule or you make sure you let them know at the BEGINNING of the game! You don't say "Oh, sorry that didn't count because we didn't do our job and let you know about this rule!"
I told Porter it didn't matter because he would have had the TD no matter what! He really is going to be good at this game!
