If I see a band aid on anyones ear, I am assuming it is covering an ear ring and asking them about it. Jewelry isn't allowed. Common sense should tell you that it is covering an ear ring. If it isn't they just put a new band aid on. The time and trouble it takes to look and fix is worth not having to deal with a kid getting their ear ripped open because we allowed them to play with jewelry.

I don't disagree with this.

My only point of disagreement is how much I'm going to press the issue. I might even ask him to show me, but if a player was to make the claim that he was told by his doctor to not remove the bandage, I'm not pushing it any further.

Is that extreme? Sure, but frankly, I think this issue doesn't even get debatable until we get to the sasquatch situations.
