NFL may force players to cut their hair

Now that ESPN is going fashion-forward, and NBA players are showing up on Vogue covers, I suppose this was only a matter of time. The National Football League, an institution that has never, ever cared at all about fashion, is considering outlawing long hair on the field.
This is good move, because some of these guys are in serious need of a trim. Long, scraggly locks are only cool for 1990s Metallica fans and characters in romance novels -- not for guys who make untold millions of dollars and are worshipped by men everywhere.
As you might suspect, this doesn't really have anything to do with fashion, and is intended more as a safety measure. Players who let their man-manes hang out are more likely to have their hair pulled while being tackled, and that hurts -- a lot. In fact, if the rule is passed, players won't even be required to cut their hair -- which, for obvious reasons, is unfortunate.

Most guys who don't like to see guys with long hair either dont have nice hair or are going bald. I have semi long hair and many women have told me over the years how nice my hair is and they wish they had hair this nice. I myself am not a fan of long stringy hair like Kid Rocks. Hair like Andy Gibb (like I have) or Like Robert Plants I have found women seem to like. To me a Brush cut looks like a punishment but to each their own.
