I wondered why Irish Mafia would say that say that "NFHS' suggestion on jewelry is ludicrous" if there is a valid reason to not where jewelry. Maybe there are types of jewelry that are not dangerous, but NFHS is taking a very strict liability approach, similar to them not allowing traditional 2-piece separable helmet/mask combinations for catchers, so that they don't get sued. Perhaps the jewelry provisions are just a CYA thing.

To start, a watch or heavy bracelet are probably the most dangerous pieces of jewelry that can be worn on the field.
NFHS rule is ludicrous because it is absolute and assumes parental responsibility which isn't theirs to assume. A soft bracelet is of no danger to any other participant. Earrings are of no danger to any other participant. Studs or nose rings are of no danger to any other participant.
