In football, I experimented with a longer lanyard a few seasons ago. It's designed so that you can hold the whistle in your hand and run without having your arm restricted by the short lanyard (football officials, at least the good ones, do not work with the whistle in their mouths).
My first thought that day was to remember rule number 1 of officiating. Recently, I realized that rule also applies when wearing a necktie.
