Fencing Team Banned from North Dakota State University Because of “Weapons Policy”

cinemaromantico
Fencing, an Olympic sport sponsored by more than 30 NCAA schools, involves two athletes engaging in what is effectively a sword fight with a foil, saber, or épée. The equipment is blunted and does not have any actual blades or sharp tips. Unfortunately, for the newly-formed club fencing team at North Dakota State University, fencing equipment counts as a weapon, and the club has been barredfrom practicing on campus.
Naturally, the club members and their coach are not thrilled about this decision:

Is that a poptart that you ate into the shape of a assault sword, no cookie for you and 10 days off from the government indoctrination Center…

Baseball should be next. A bat and a hard ball being the closest to the first weapons ever made- a club and a rock.
Progtard idiots.

I’m sure the losers in art class are not allowed to even draw pictures of weapons.

@Pelopidas – in 1990 I carpooled with a young guy for my bodyboarding class (yes, bodyboarding, while earning a masters in Aero Engineering!) he carried a bat in the back, along with a glove and softball. The bat was for use as a weapon if necessary, the glove and ball were for explaining to the cop if he got pulled over.

Yep, keep softening them up … sooner or later, they won’t have any concept of self-defense.
It’s always easier to beat someone who’s already beaten himself.
SUCKERS! No, not like me and Reggie … y’know …
SUCKERS!

I guess the track team can’t participate in javelin, discus, hammer throw, and shotput any more. All of those are weapons, more deadly than a fencing sword.

I look forward to the day when we can ban progressives for being weapons of societal destruction.

Perhaps the fencing club can compromise with the university and promise to limit the magazines on their epees to 7 rounds or less.
Yeah, I know that’s stupid – but we are arguing with progs.
