First off it is literally impossible to answer this question without someone getting offended, but I am going to try and take an objective approach.I am not arguing for bullying because thats not what this is. Im not arguing for purposely offensive behavior because thats not even close to what this is. I am arguing for a certain sense of logic, historical truth and tolerance.I am arguing a principle of team building in a safe manner, not defending random individual acts that could be used to paint the entire process as bad, which is how most arguments are framed these days.I believe in the rite of passage, I believe its team building and I believe that it can be done in a way that is sensitive but allows that team building process to unfold.A few examples wherein we accept behavior for what it is, because it is understood the intention to be comedy.Should we ban all comedians? There is an entire profession built around the notion of being offensive. Some of our favorite and most famous figures are comedians, and we are all delighted for a five-minute skit.Children play dress-up all the time. They inevitably decide how they can look the funniest, because this is understood even in their child-like minds, and they roll around for hours laughing at each other as they change costumes so to speak. Do we cry foul when our children play dress up?Halloween is a fairly understood dress-up day. Some people take it too far, but largely it is celebrated as a fun way to have an adventure with friends, family and see creativity in action. Should we similarly ban Halloween?There are a number of venues or situations where the act of dress up is understood, and offense is not intended to be serious but an act of humor.So while many will argue the fear of political correctness, I would say that the degree of embarrassment to the individual or public falls many levels below an actual comedy show and Halloween, but worse it deprives the individual athlete of a ceremony wherein they are the center of the team for a day, and everyone largely is celebrating their accomplishment as full-fledged major leaguers. Its actually a ceremony of acceptance, and someone stupidly branded it as hazing, and thats how we have arrived here.Yes, I remember my dress-up day. I remember it fondly. I was dressed as a female of some sort. We werent making fun of people that actually dress that way, we were dressed up in uncomfortable clothes, as a contrast of macho dudes dressed in too tight fitting or too revealing clothes for our body type. Anyone looking at the exercise from a lens of humor would see the contrast for what it is and wouldnt be offended.I find it far more unfortunate that we twist truths to fit a narrative. Bullying exists, and bullying is quite terrible, inexcusable. In fact, the act of singling someone out for a difference or a weakness is disgusting to me. But to parallel these is a farce, and I see people mangle and mash up ideology as if this is MLB players thought process.Much of the time the outfit is an inside joke that might be a play on one word or instance that occurred during the season, and everyone on the team understands the symbolic nature of the outfit. But to those on the outside, they interpret it completely different.To insist that these outfits are disrespectful to anyone is maybe a stronger case than bullying but like comedy is either so clearly understood or the outfit itself doesnt even symbolize or attempt to symbolize how its being reported/ twisted to fit some narrative.Most importantly to consider, people have been dressing each other up in a humorous fashion for thousands of years, especially men dressing up other men. A few minutes on Google and there are hundreds of pertinent examples all over the world that continue to this day.Rookie Dress Up is like anything in this life. Done appropriately it is a healthy ritual. Taken too far and it becomes either offensive or dangerous. And now its out of the players hands. A part of the game that was openly and happily shared with fans in an effort to show our child-like spirit or humble ourselves in wearing something funny as a team-building moment is now gone but truthfully wont change much, and I dont really care that much.But rest assured some other ritual will rise, will be kept far more secret and hopefully its as safe and harmless as uncomfortable clothes.

All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. (STATS) -- Itd be easy to keep listing accolades involving the two opponents in Saturdays biggest FCS showdown:- North Dakota States top-ranked FCS dynasty hosting a No. 8 Eastern Washington squad that just took down a Pac-12 opponent.- The two most recent national championship programs -- EWU in 2010 and NDSU the last five seasons.- NDSU facing the only program to hand it a loss in its FCS playoff history (a 22-1 record).- The most dominating defense in the FCS (NDSU) trying to stop a wide receiver (EWU senior Cooper Kupp) who is on pace to being the most dominant wideout ever in the subdivision.Oh, did we mention Big Sky versus Missouri Valley in an intersectional matchup that some FCS power programs never get close to playing in the regular season?Saturday at the Fargodome, it will be that and much more in one of the most anticipated games of the season.Weve got obviously the premier program at our level, and were playing them at their place, Eastern Washington coach Beau Baldwin said, so its been a fun week already to prepare for that challenge. And it will definitely be that -- a challenge come Saturday.In the only previous meeting, EWU slipped past NDSU 38-31 in overtime in the 2010 national quarterfinals in Cheney, Washington. Quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell led the Eagles to two more wins and the national title, then the Bison started their unprecedented dominance the next season. Theyve gone 72-5 since 2011.A case can be made that NDSU and EWU have the toughest non-conference schedules in the FCS this season, and both started with wins. The Bison edged No. 7 Charleston Southern 24-17 in overtime in the FCS Kickoff on Aug. 27 and the Eagles flew past Washington State 45-42 last Saturday, when Kupp left yet another Pac-12 defense in his wake with 12 receptions for 206 yards and three touchdowns.Kupps final touchdown reception was the 59th of his career, setting the FCS record. He will likely surpass 5,000 career yards against the Bison, and his 4,970 are only 280 from the all-time record. His 323 career receptions are 72 from the standard.Hes as good as anybody, NDSU coach Chris Klieman said. Different because hes going to be in the slot a fair amount; theyre going to work him outside. You know (against Washington State), he played some quarterback, they gave it to him onn the jet sweep.dddddddddddd Just a phenomenal football player that is really fun to watch. Not excited about defending him, but what a great challenge for our defense that you have the most prolific receiver in FCS history coming into Gate City Field.Eastern Washington, which had won four of the five Big Sky titles before going 6-5 a year ago, may be even better than advertised because redshirt sophomore quarterback Gage Gabrud settled in quickly in his first career start. He set the school record for total yards (551) and had six total touchdowns.Add in that NDSU has two first-year starters at cornerback in sophomores Jalen Allison and Jaylaan Wimbush, and Gabrud figures to spread the wealth to Kupp and two other highly productive wide receivers, Shaq Hill and Kendrick Bourne.NDSU will counter with a lot of nickel coverage in the secondary. Middle linebacker Nick DeLuca is expected to return from a left shoulder separation to help make the defense complete again.The challenge we have is there are so many other weapons around (Kupp) that are so good and if you just try to take away one guy ... for starters, its hard to do anyway, Klieman said. Were just going to try to contain him a little bit, and thats going to be difficult in itself. But they have so many other weapons that can beat you.EWU and NDSU are helping to put their conferences in the spotlight Saturday as the biggest of four games between Big Sky and Missouri Valley teams. Two of the other games come from within the STATS FCS Top 25 -- No. 14 Montana at No. 3 Northern Iowa and No. 19 Northern Arizona at No. 18 Western Illinois.But EWU-NDSU says it all, filled with the most subplots and national ramifications. Theyll meet again at EWU on Sept. 16, 2017.I like playing these games also, Baldwin said, just because I think it does well for just our whole FCS nationally. Just like Montana playing them last year, we played Sam Houston (State in 2013 and 14). Those early games, being involved in these big-time non-conference games ... I think it helps our level of football from a national standpoint and I think it makes people realize, Man, theres something more here than we may have thought.
