Like a bad penny...
Some players are simply disgusting looking. You know how nasty those "dreads" are packed with wax, grease, sweat, blood, mud, grass etc. and it hangs down almost to their waist. It was bad enough when they became Dennis Rodman wannabes and all had to get a few dozen tats covering their entire body, but this freaky hair detracts from the game!
There seems to be some debate about whether you can tackle by their hair. It is not part of their equipment, so no 'horse collar' or face mask call. Some refs call if a foul, others do not. I wish they all would not! I make no bones that I'm a Colt's fan. Joseph Addai got yanked down by his hair a couple of times in crucial 3rd down situations when it was really nasty and long and the very next game it was cut to just below his helmet! 'Nuff said!
To top it all off, WTF, Troy Polamalu now is in the Guinness world record book for the highest insurance policy on his hair! Get freaking real!! I like Troy and the way he plays and handles himself. However, the hair, I don't get. He recently posed with his policy insuring his hair with Lloyds for one million dollars. Against exactly what, I don't know nor care. He doesn't run the ball, but I assure you that it gets in his eyes and detracts from his vision at times with it being 2' long.
Do these guys think the girley hair along with earrings and a completely inked body make them purty?! The fat, out of shape, baseball players proved that even their world series games couldn't compete with regular season NFL games in viewership ratings. Their primadonna status and dropping all around athletic abilities has made baseball almost on par with table tennis. Is the NFL heading the same direction?
If being "purty" with your 2' long hair reduces your ability to play and is a distraction, cut your freaking hair or get a job picking up trash! I don't want to pay to watch you. It seems the primadonna running backs and receivers have the hair thing gong on mostly, but now some 350 pound linemen have hair down to their ass and it detracts from the sport.
Wake up America! Are we going to continue to have the great pastime of watching the NFL, which has made baseball a joke, or is the NFL heading the way baseball went? To me, having to spend 1/2 an hour in the shower just to wash your hair an preen detracts from your production. I'd pretty well shave my hair and be all business if it were my occupation!
So, what do you guys say? Am I just too old and out of touch with these new purty players? Or, are these players out of touch and need a reality check?
