I showed my partner, talked to both coaches and got the mother to sign off on liability and let the kid play in the scrim. I personally have never seen any basketball player get hurt from earings. Football is another matter had a kid get a hoop ripped out of his ear when his helmet got ripped off his head.

but couldn't you still get a jersey, thread, etc wrapped around the front of it and have it rip out of his/her ear? no way in heck i am letting someone play with that, at least until the fed decides that it is ok....
