Long haired creepy people need not apply - Page 3

I thought this was lame when I first heard about it... then I read that it was put out there by the Chiefs.

First it was expand the playoffs and now it's ban the long hair.

Clean up the NFL, fellas!

I say if you want to wear your hair long, go ahead, but quit your bitching if people use it to bring you down. No penalties or anything should be assessed.

Actually, You can't hate Polamalu... I remember on that play, whoever tackled him got his hand stuck in his hair. The first person to come next to the tackler was Polamalu. The announcers thought that he was arguing for a penalty, then they realized that he was arguing against one, trying to explain to the announcers that the guys hand got stuck in that tangled mess. I don't think it looks good, but I think he has the right attitude about it.

WRT that ESPN clip, the rest of his team wasn't arguing for LJ....

I knew the ****ing unions were behind all of this.

From the clip it looks like Polamalu was ready to fight LJ after the play.

It's nice the Chiefs are the only team that gives a rats ass about this, seeing as I think most teams could careless what a player looks like as long as he's good...

Maybe the Chiefs should be less concerned with hair and you know finding some good players.

Is this the 50's? NFL teams that are concerned with the appearance of players certainly don't have that "killer instinct" when it comes to fielding a team.

What's even more ridiculous is that especially in Polamalu's case, it's part of his culture to have long hair. It's not some type of protest (ala, "hippie") and for the black guys with dreads, it's fashion.

I truly wish the Chiefs front office would concentrate on the task at hand, which is to build a championship football team. JFC.

I think you took my post to literally, fact is, caring that much about a guys hair to call it a uniform violation and actually bitch to the league about it is ****in stupid.

The Chiefs are always whining about something.

No, I get it. I just QFT.

IMO, the Chiefs have about one million and one higher priorities than the length of someone's hair.

As I said earlier, this isn't the 50's and trying to "control" a millionaire athlete's appearance is beyond ridiculous.

I'm all for it. Tuck that $hit into the jersey or something.
