They don’t have our lawyer tradition. A girl in Texas was allowed to tape them up, was kicked, bleed a lot, and her parents sued the referee, the coach, the club, and the field. I told coaches after that no earrings, period. It is sort of not nice that the kid gets ears pierced then signs up for soccer without knowing. The form has five print for the parents to ignore.
