REPLY: I'd say it is a safety concern, but not something within the officials' jurisdiction. I would ask the coach to do what he can to make sure it's tucked behind the player's pads in the jersey, and if it comes out during play, I'd ask that it be fixed. But that's as far as I'd go. Next question...what if a defender grabs it to pull down a runner or to get to a live ball that he can possess? Are you going to call a foul?
