GREEN LAKE, Wis. (AP) - The organization that governs high school sports in Wisconsin won't force fans to keep their shirts on.

The Board of Control of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association has rejected a committee's recommendation that bare-chested fans be banned from attending indoor events. The decision was made Thursday.

Committee members had argued that being shirtless had nothing to do with sporting events. They also said body paint sometimes caused damage when it dripped onto cloth seats.
