Not liking a rule doesn't mean not enforcing it. Especially one that is safety related.

Tee,
If you have an answer for that you could make a lot of $$$$$.
The other side of the coin is: "Why does FED have so many stupid rules that they make guys deal with they will ignore them if they can?"
I know a lot of it is the the holy grail of standardization (if it is illegal in FB, it should be illegal in BB). Take jewelry for example. Okay, in BK of FB no jewelry makes sense. But telling a kid wearing a helmet he can't wear an earring is stupid these days.
Telling an F2 he has to wear a mask/helmet with ear flaps is just as silly. they watch NCAA and MLB players and nobody wears that, except for a few who wear the bucket.
Some FED rules are good, the dead ball appeal for one. But writing the rules not for the sake of playing the game, but so some school or state association doesn't get sued when a 1 in a million circumstance happens in a game is not helpful to enforcement of FED rules.
That's my .02
