That's My Story And I'm Sticking To It ...

In any case, I think that we agree. Officials should not ask players to remove illegal equipment, we should tell players that they can't play with illegal equipment.

If necessary, will you represent me? If so, please send the bill to Mark Padgett, he lives somewhere in Oregon. He's already got my account numbers, PIN's etc.

I get the point of this, but I don't worry about the semantics here. It seems a lot like the whole "base line / end line" discussion, or a certain long time member's obsession with whether coaches "call" or "request" timeouts. The next time a player sits out the game rather than take out his earrings will be the first time.

Softball - Belly Piercing
Working a softball game a few year ago...highly conteste game but the one coach was clueless. He calls time and comes out to tell me that the batter from the other team had her navel pierced. I said coach I can't see that nor am I interested in looking... he couldn't believe that I wouldn't eject player.
Was by far strangest request from a coach I ever had.... |

Just consider bandaids on the ears as jewelry. Problem solved!
As far as I know, what is or is not jewelry is not defined anywhere.

Philosophical Question ...
If a bandaid falls in the forest, and there are no officials around ...

BillyMac's Got A Better Idea ...
Better yet, just consider ears to be jewelry, and make exceptions for medical, or religious reasons. Removing an ear has to be considered to be a medical problem, or there has to be some Commandment being broken?

If they prove to me there's no earring under the tape, then of course they can play with tape over their ears. Geez - is it really necessary to be so literal? You know what I meant. It won't be long before I put you back on my ignore list, I suspect...

Pants On Fire ...
Quote:
The player tells you he isn't wearing an erring. The coach tells you that all his players are legally equipped. Yet you still insist that the player pull off his tape. You have just, in essence, accused both the player, and his coach, of being liars, and that's not the way I want my game to go before we've even tossed up the jump ball. Let's say that after questioning both the player, and the coach, about the tape, the official still insists that the player pull off the tape, and there's no earing, just a cut. Now the official has just, in essence, accused two people of being liars, incorrectly, for no reason. Again, not the way I want to start my game. Or, let's say that after questioning both the player, and the coach, about the tape, the official still insists that the player pull off the tape, and there is an earing, proving that both the player, and the coach, are, indeed, liars. They've been exposed for what they really are, liars, and also, they're embarrassed liars. Again, not the way I want to start my game. Again, if asking players to remove tape is the excepted standard in an association, then that's the way you have to do it. I have no problem with that.
