Peace

I don't know if they are confused or not...but, tape around an arm sleeve?

This shows that these organizations are out of touch with reality. To wear tape over a bicep band is ridiculous. Do they require that eyeglasses be covered with tape also?

It does sound a bit ridiculous. Maybe they realize that the kids are just wearing them to imitate the pros...and if the kids happen to get some Doctor to say it is medical, then they will just have to tape it. The clinicians thinking may be that this will eliminate the "cool" factor and thus, eliminate the bands.
