So, lockerrooms are included. And you don't have to have any "diagnosis" -- RML Hoos 05/13/2016 11:44AM

I'm curious. Is this topic of any concern outside of the Confederacy? ;) ** -- Seattle .Hoo 05/13/2016 3:15PM

Michigan, apparently - link. There are lots of people that object to this -- 81_Hokie 05/13/2016 4:58PM

Seattle asked if it's a concern out of the Confederacy. MI fits that ** -- 81_Hokie 05/13/2016 6:20PM

You were wondering about gov action in blue states? Riveting question. :) ** -- Hoos Operator 05/13/2016 6:51PM
