Rules are rules are rules. If you don't like them, don't work FED sports. If you do work FED, enforce the rules. If you just enforce those you agree with, you don't belong out there.
"The girls like it, the fans like it, the coaches couldn't care less, and the bands pose no safety hazard whatsoever. I said nothing. Since the girls showed up for their last game of the season wearing them, I suspect no umpire had said anything all year long." You don't know what happened before. In the back of the FED RULES BOOK is an OFFICIALS CODE OF ETHICS. You violated them by not enforcing the rules. And the coach violated their code. It's umpires like you who make it difficult for those who follow you.
