What must a religious medallion worn by a player during a game do to comply with the rules?

A religious medallion worn by a player during a game must be taped to the player's body and worn under the uniform to comply with the rules. This requirement ensures that the player can wear a personal item that holds significance to them while maintaining the safety and uniformity expected in the sporting environment. Taping the medallion to the body helps prevent it from becoming a safety hazard, as loose items have the potential to be dislodged during play, potentially causing injury to the player or others. Wearing it under the uniform further protects the medallion from being a distraction and keeps the focus on the game while respect is given to the player's personal beliefs.

Options that suggest wearing the medallion outside the uniform or removing it completely do not accommodate the player’s right to express their religious beliefs through this item. Additionally, while the idea of modifying the medallion for safety is important, taping it to the body is the established procedure to ensure both personal expression and safety during the game.
