Exposed jewelry, which is judged by the umpire to be dangerous, must be removed and may not be worn during the game.
One of dozens of grammatical errors in the ASA rule book. This sentence actually means that exposed jewelry is judged by the umpire to be dangerous and must be removed.
I think you should read the Constitution. There is nothing in that document that says that parents, or anyone else, is responsible for children.
True, but the idea that parents were responsible for their minor children was an unquestioned and undebated tenet of social organization. It was so much a part of the air the framers of the Constitution breathed that writing it down would have been viewed as a preposterous waste of time and paper.
Every year, one of the men's leagues I work supplies me with a document absolving me of responsibility if anyone is injured as a result of a player wearing jewelry. Still, I wonder when I read today's U.S. News:
"A disabled man sues a Florida strip club for not providing equal-access views of the stage; families of illegal immigrants who died trying to cross a desert from Mexico sue the United States for not providing water; a woman throws a soft drink at her boyfriend at a restaurant, then slips on the floor she wet and breaks her tailbone. She sues. Bingo--a jury says the restaurant owes her $100,000! A woman tries to sneak through a restroom window at a nightclub to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She falls, knocks out two front teeth, and sues. A jury awards her $12,000 for dental expenses."
