Having long hair while black.

//I thought we had a thread on a similar case (involving a High School wrestling match if I recall), but I can't find it. If anyone remembers it better and can find it link to it and I'll ask for this one to be merged.//

Quote:

Pyles, a Black student who attends Hillside High School, said her team was in the lead during the second inning against a Jordan High School softball team on April 19 when an umpire told her he was unable to see her uniform number due to her hairstyle. She was wearing beaded braids during her team's final home game of the season, a hairstyle she says she has worn in several games prior.

Okay for full disclosure there a few details here. One the hair was not just long but beaded and I can, in some circumstances, imagine not wanting foreign objects in the hair in certain scenarios, I just don't get how it was an issue here. And the classic "The exact reason keeps changing" thing pops up. First it's because her hair is so long the umpire can't see her number, then it got it changed to the beads so I'm not 100% buying that was actually the issue.

And the fact that girl had played several games with the exact same hairstyle and nobody had a problem.
