Do unto others? yes the first thing I noticed....seemingly a reasonable length tho, and not the kind of length you could tuck in the crack of your ass... But Have they changed the rules? (not like the NFL wouldn't to placate) but I do not see any INFRACTION here at all.... Perfectly legal tackle, no? That's why I asked, if you are going to carry the ball, shouldn't you at least tuck it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I asked, if you are going to carry the ball, shouldn't you at least tuck it? I guess you are right given the video posted by SOC. But to me, this seems like it would have the same potential effect as a horse collar and if dreads or long hair in general are allowed should be an infraction from a safety point of view. With that said, I would probably want to rule that high hair should not be so long as to protrude from your helmet. Wear the long hair in the off season if you want, but cut it for your own protection during the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wear the long hair in the off season if you want, but cut it for your own protection during the season. Of all the rules the NFL scrambles (many in the name of player safety) this one gets ONE BIG LOOK AWAY...… But NFL management has been catering to their players so..... wouldn't want any like sportsnut to take offense because the dude has dreads or anything...not like it wasn't started by a couple of long haired white Sampsons that wanted everyone to be able to pick them from the crowd on the field.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted October 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 2 hours ago, Sportsnut said: The question remains Who are you to decide what is reasonable length for an individuals hair? Has nothing to do with the mans ego. It is not in question but your propensity for telling others they have to abide by the specifics you decide is absurd. Don't try to deflect. Who are you to decide what the limit or standard should be? Since you are redundant, I'll rephrase... It is not 'I' who decides what is reasonable, but the sport or activity that any athlete is involved in... When you wrestle, you must keep your nails trimmed or be DQ'ed, when you Surf I would seriously advise you not to wear metal jewelry...etc.etc. You look way too hard to assign guilt thru your own failings.....none there, just your own failings. and BTW: a man's grooming habits can easily be tied to ego......

Here in the real world, catering to the 'product' and not the 'customers'..... usually results in something like this.... Kinda looks like the 'NFL product' we have now...…….. Doesn't it...

The NFL should penalize it, or mandate that players have to tuck their hair or dread locks in. Someone will seriously get hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't try to pretend that I am judging the mans ego... Over the years I have seen many tackles made and drives stalled by pulling on a players jersey and now their hair . If I was a NFL coach, I would make the team wear tear-away jerseys and have them tuck in their long hair. It would give the team a competitive advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Your Jesus and his long stringy stinking hair. See how it works in reverse. I despise him as much as you do dreadheads. It seems to work for Marshawn Lynch and Larry Fitzgerald.

Some of this is born of out situational health needs of the masses... Not a bad thing actually, but how you determine which grooming style is right for you, as depending on how your God wishes you to be or appear, can always be manipulated by man....or man's religious architecture. Personal choice, based on whatever guidance one may follow, can be easily seen for what it is....a personal one...whether following a religious edict or not...
