I understand both sides. I mean, it's just a freakin' nose strip for God's sake! On the other hand, particularly in today's culture of the "look at me" athlete, any little freedom will be exploited and pushed beyond reasonable limits by a few. It's just easier to enforce strict uniformity rather than go into the "is this too much?" for every deviance from the rule. Also, more fair - none of this "he can do that - why can't I do this?" (It's like parents with multiple kids - You can't figure it out? Fine, then nobody gets to do it.)

Like it or not, the NFL's big business with a brand and sponsors to protect. The only time it's a game is when the game clock is running.
