If it's that important, take a minute or two to write something about it.

Odd how umpires want to get involved with lineup cards more than safety issues.

Hmmmmmmmm
ASA does not consider this something they need to get involved with. NCAA does not consider this as something they want to be involved with. Nor do some/most of the major sanctioning bodies consider this as something worthy to be involved with. Here's a suggestion - submit a rule change suggestion. Until it is a rule, stop looking for boogers.
