What about a face mask? A regular glove. Stirrup socks. Shoe strings. Belt loop. A base strap.

Something could get hung-up on a player's pony tail, so should we make them tuck their hair up under their hat (and went in to ask him why?, "You look like a fine young man, I think you'll do"; So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that, ME working for you; Whoa oh oh oh, signs, signs, everywhere are signs....oops, sorry for the flashback to the Five Man Electrical Band).

Point is, I just think the "jewelry" thing has gone way over to the tree-hugging extreme. It is not my job to protect people from themselves, I have a hard enough time protecting myself and my family.
