For the record it was one of those pink rubbery bracelets. The mention of pulling the sock over the bracelet is good. However, I think she was wearing those low socks

Ok thanks. That is what I was thinking. There is also the possiblilty of using athletic tape to cover it.

Not under the rules, there isn't.

If it's visible, it comes off.

How far do you take these things? Yes, cancer is a great cause; it is an insidious disease that affects most everyone in some way. But there are other diseases...and causes...that also issue bracelets. Where do you draw the line? Would you allow one and not another? Or are you going to allow several bracelets to be worn, depending on your personal empathy to a particular cause?

This one is is a no-brainer imo. Go to someone in authority in your association/state and get their direction. Then have everyone in your local area call it uniformly. Don't be "that guy".

Based on this situation I would be a little more lenient if I had to make an on the spot decision. I would be all for pulling a sock over it, or putting tape around the ankle to cover it.
After the game I would def. notify the assignor and let them know the situation and let them handle the situation. I would rather not be that guy who disrespected the memory of the girls mother. Once there was a direction one way or the other, then I would go with it.
If it was some type of friendship bracelet etc, then no. Tape over the ear? Yep pretty sure they are trying to cover an earring. Gotta go. Even had one girl with tape over her nose like it was broke, but was just had her nose pierced BEFORE the game. Nope!
