Blackout football game

Her letter did not address the blackout game, and it's not clear if the vandalism is connected to the changed event. Instead of the blackout theme for Friday's home game against W. West High, administrators planned a tye-dye night. But there was confusion because the Lake Washington football team will still wear black uniforms. Parents contacted KIRO 7 about the change after hearing that some students would not be admitted if they wore black, and that the blackout theme, which had been done at Lake Washington for years, was being cancelled.

Pendergrass clarified that the game was not cancelled and said students who wore black would not be turned away.

Students were told about the change verbally during classes, and the decision was put on the administration in general instead of a specific leader. The blackout rule was introduced during the s when Football League chairmen believed televised matches had a negative impact on attendances at matches being played at the same time.

Many UK football fans feel the ruling is outdated in this day and age, especially when streams of these matches are so readily available to watch online. The issue is compounded by the fact that at least one live Saturday 3pm Premier League match can be viewed in the vast majority of countries outside the UK. Supporters of the rule believe removing the blackout would threaten the sanctity of the traditional Saturday 3pm kick-off.
