If you’re ready to go into surgery and the Doctor came in wearing dangling earrings, what would go through your mind?

I would inform him that nobody should be wearing loose ear rings during surgery.

If you moved to a town, and you were buying home insurance and the agent walked in with Dangling Earrings would you purchase from him?

---

Yes, if the policy was right. Because I have the cognitive reasoning skills enough to make decisions based on something other than appearance.

If your 16 year old daughter brought her boyfriend over for the first time and he had dangling earrings, how would you feel?

It isn’t that uncommon in the current college age generation, especially outside of the south to see this. I would have to base it on his actions and respectfulness. An earring can be taken out when it becomes unfashionable, but a shite attitude about people like yours is much harder to get rid of.

How many U.S. presidents had Dangling earrings?.

The dangling earrings that multiple players wear look like absolute shite.

While this may be true it has absolutely zero to do with how they are playing.

What’s your point?

1. LSU has won 6 national championships without Dangling Earrings and Zero with them.

2. Everyone loves stats. Sports, history, and so on. I can’t prove it, but I’m willing to bet that there’s a substantial correlation between success without Dangling Earrings compared to success with Dangling earrings.

3. When you have rules, and protocols to follow, there’s structure to your organization. When everyone can run around and do whatever the hell they want, it leads to 35 errors. It leas to look at me, I’m more worried about what the hell I look like then spending more time after practice catching routine ground balls.

Please no one ask me to explain this shite anymore, we have some damn idiots in this fanbase, I always knew it but it’s getting worse.

I think every infielder getting 100 scorchers hit at them every day would help more.

I do get it. It's just dumb.

I believe he's suggesting some, or even most, of the players care more about how they look than how they're playing.

I was having a conversation with someone yesterday about this. He was also suggesting this. Personally, I don't care how they dress, earings, facial hair, long locks, etc. But if they're more worried about that than playing their best, then something might need to be done. That said, I'm not convinced thats the issue, but I do get his point.

Paul Maineiri had a clean shaven policy and everyone hated him and said he was the worst coach ever.

You must have looked in the mirror and typed this because all of the rest of the stereotypical BS you typed made you look like a fricking backwoods retard. Barry Bonds wore dangling earrings. He could hit and field and didn’t give 2 shits what people thought. He was a great ball player long before any “clear or cream”.

Expressing yourself is a freedom. LSU isn’t a military school.

98% of the players who don’t make the hall of fame also don’t wear dangling earrings. Maybe if they had, they would have made it.
