Now at least two of us believe that, at the minimum, this issue should not be totally ignored.

I also respect the opinion of others who disagree with us as the determinations of "not appropriate" and "dangerous" are quite subjective.

"Every official who considers not enforcing a safety rule needs to answer the following question, 'Do you want your family living in a mobile home for the next forty years?'" (Alan Goldberger, Esquire)

While I agree that the discussed item is not "needed" and may not be "appropriate", and, that detachment "may" pose a safety hazard, the same could be said of many other shoe attachments/adornments that we as officials ignore. Plastic or metal lace locks on Nike Air Force 1's immediately come to mind. I do not see any official ever considering players to remove those. How about decorative aglets? How about a removable Nike swoosh?

Where would the objective line be drawn? Each official, currently, has their own line.
