I just have to wonder sometimes what people smoke in their pipes.... I am a Sikh and I wear a turban. On the soccer pitch I prefer to wear a cloth bandana or what we call a "patka", similiar to the one that the youth player was wearing. Sikhs only do that to keep our long hair in place, and how that could hurt someone is beyond my comprehension. I find that a knee brace is more likely to hurt another player on a tackle than a cloth covering my head. A little common sense goes a long way.
The ref in question really needs to do an Indo-Canadian soccer tourney in the summer, so he can tell all the little kids to go home, cause they are not allowed to play according to BCSA.
The real bad thing about this is that it gives a black eye to BC soccer, and national attention for something that should have resolved on the spot by tourney organizers. It only took one over zealous ref to create a firestorm.
