I can't tell who you are addressing with this, so I will answer.
I think, in general, the youth sports organizations are becoming a bit to paranoid and "kid in a bubble" oriented. But, that is
not even close to my objection to such things as the OP issue.
If I don't like ASA's rules, I can umpire for AFA, or USSSA, or form my own league.
If I don't like the state's rules, I can suffer loss of property or liberty.
A huge difference, and I wish people would quit munging them into the same issue. They are not even remotely the same issue.
