Hmmm... of course you're right. Just as with anything that has come into common acceptance through the years - like foul language in public, sex and violence on television, bad manners in schools, answering cell phones in restaurants, wearing white after Labor Day, yada, yada, yada. Anything that is wide-spread is by definition acceptable in society, even if it is not acceptable to a portion of that society.
We can decide to accept and embrace it, or shudder and revile it - or even ignore it. But in any case, it's done and here to stay.
Unfortunately we accept far to much, far too easily these days.
However just because something is accepted doesn't make it correct. I always think it looks a little odd to see a t-shirt and trainers with a formal belt but most kilt suppliers don't sell other options.
On the other hand I rank it right up there with wearing a white tie shirt for black tie, I know it's wrong but I don't really care. On the other hand is it any worse than seeing someone in a PC jacket at the games. Probably wearing it because he owns it and can't find anyplace else to wear it.
