I have two positions on this. A. I don't give a *fudge*. B. I hope someone challenges it and wins on say religious persecution. Title: Re: nfl new rule Post by: spacey on March 25, 2008, 06:31:53 PM Mattingly, I told you to shave those sideburns!

The play drew laundry though, as Johnson was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct personal foul. LINK (http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2006/10/10-21-06cm/10-21-06dsports-03.asp)Johnson and coach Herm Edwards argued that the hair is technically part of the uniform, but the penalty likely stemmed from a confrontation with safety Ike Taylor in the immediate aftermath of the tackle. "The dude had hair," Johnson said. "What do you want me to do? They said hair is part of the uniform last time I checked. That was the only thing I could get my hands on." Once he got a hold of Polamalu's locks, Johnson had trouble removing his hand, which prompted Taylor to come over and look out for the best interests of his teammate's flowing mane. It is unlikely that Taylor, Johnson and Polamalu exchanged advice on shampoos and conditioners. "It's real cute that Ike Taylor comes over and tries to defe nd his boy when that wasn't what was going on," Johnson said. "If I got penalized I hope it's because of me hitting Ike Taylor in the face twice and not for pulling Troy's hair." Boys will be boys. Title: Re: nfl new rule Post by: Clive on March 26, 2008, 10:46:59 AM So it probably has more to do with the NFL's stance on horse-collar tackles and the close parallel that hair-tackles represent. Condemn one, condemn both.
Title: Re: nfl new rule Post by: E-A-G-L-E! on March 26, 2008, 02:36:27 PM Hair exposed from the helmets have always seemed like a safety issue to me. Maybe it's just something I think about a bit more because I like having my hair long. If you fall on it, it can pull your neck into some pretty bad positions. It can get twisted, pulled, stomped on, and even wrapped around stuff. And that's just to name a few things. Needless to say, I've always tried to pull it back when participating in sports and other activities.
