New Jersey Bans Trash Talk for Student Athletes

Friday, 21 June 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Hey, New Jerseyans: Watch your mouth on the field. The New York Post says the state’s Interscholastic Athletic Association, which governs all high school sports, has formally banned trash talking. The new rule could even land a player in court if they didn’t remember to check their mouth. The Post says it’s all an effort to curb bullying in New Jersey schools and is in line with several other anti-bullying rules scheduled to go into effect this fall.
