College Frisbee Team Goes Commando

The squad had already been on probation since November for serving alcohol to minors and making way too much noise at a party to end last season, resulting in fines and citations. Now the team, known as EGO (Eugene Gentlemen’s Organization) is crying foul.”

A Frisbee is a symbol of the carefree attitude of the youth, you will rarely see a picnic where teens are tossing a Frisbee.

When I was a small child my parents would take sightseeing to Haight Ashbury, and it wasn’t unusual to see hippies playing with a Frisbee.

I don’t expect a college Frisbee team to wear neatly pressed uniforms, but going commando is a bit too far. You have to wear a uniform, or at least a T-Shirt and shorts.

I’m surprised that there’s a collegiate Frisbee league, that runs contrary to the freedom and anarchy symbolized by a Frisbee. An organized Frisbee league is anathema to a Frisbee aficionado, there should be no rules associated with playing Frisbee.

I’m glad the GEO’s season has come to an untimely end, and I’ll be  happier when the Frisbee league is disbanded.
