Wearing jewelry during the game

However, what makes this tough and I'm sure what prompted OP to post this is the lack of consistency with the referees allowing jewelry. Sometimes they allow jewelry as long as it's taped, sometimes they follow the Laws and don't allow anything.

Yep, and then the religious wackos see a kid get away with it and then they want a religious exemption.

It's a very straightforward rule. If a ref is not applying it correctly, that ref needs to be reminded that they are responsible for the safety of the players.

What if the jewelry flies loose and pokes his eye? that's why you don't wear it in soccer games.

Kids like to wear these cloth "bracelets" tied around their wrists. They are dangerous too. I've seen an opponent get their finger caught under one of these bracelets. No need for that stuff.
