Fingernails ...

Editorial Changes

3-7: The referee shall not permit any team member to participate if, in the referee’s judgment, any item constitutes a safety concern, such as, but not limited to a player’s fingernails or hairstyle.

Phrase in red has been removed.

While ethnic hairstyles have been a recent hot topic in many sports (softball, wrestling, etc.), why remove a specific reference to fingernails?

I always liked that the fingernail example was in the rulebook.

Made it easy to explain to a coach, player, or parent.
