Number zero football jerseys

[Patriotic Voter]

I could not believe this while watching SEC games the last two weeks. Sometimes the way a jersey is wrinkled makes an 8 look like a zero, but not on Georgia Bulldogs uniforms. It was most definitely a zero, not an 8, on one player. I also saw one Ole Miss player and one Auburn player with a zero jersey. and they were both tucked in. All three teams have a different player who wears #8 too. How in the world is this possible if zero has never been a football uniform number in the history of the sport?

You think the number 0 on a football jersey has some kind of psycho-sexual meaning? Do explain for the rest of us.

Where did you get that idea from? I did not even remotely imply such a thing.

Starting next season, players will be allowed to wear the No. 0 on their jersey, in an effort to cut down on teams having numerous players with single-digit numbers.

Uh, what? Zero is a single-digit number! The only way to reduce the number of single-digit uniforms would be preventing teams from having two players with the same number total - no more #1 on offense and #1 on defense.

It's allowed in MLB and NBA, so what is the big deal?

It is not allowed in the NFL.

Maybe not, but I'm having a hard time coming up with a single reason why anyone should care about this one way or the other.
