  i can't really say i blame them, if it's just a safety issue then there are ways around that!!

    Well, it could be a safety issue. Next, they are going to have to make a rule that you can't tackle by the hair unless they have one already. I do remember the Larry Johnson/Polomalu thing.

      They don't have that and it never happens, why I don't know. Most of the times the only thing you can grab of Polamalu is his hair flapping in the breeze as he blows by everybody. His wife, Theodora, should be more worried about his hair than the NFL. She was in one of my classes at Pitt, and despite being gorgeous....he has nicer hair than she does!

  If the NFL creates this rule, it will be one of the dumbest ever. They have already made it the no fun league, so why would they taking away one of the last ways players can express themselves?
  And seriously, how could we have a league without players with dreads? Dreads are the sh!t

    At least they don't have to wear suits like the NBA. But hey, thats their job...the bosses set the rules. Why should the NFL be any different than any other job? They don't have to follow the rules...just find a new job.

  Like I said before, a harcore fan is going to know the players name and number anyway. If they want to grow their hair long, then so be it. I know the NFL wants uniformity and all of that crap, but I guess this is for the crappola fan who goes to a game one f**kin' time a year and could care less if he/she knows the number or names of the players. They are there on a free ticket and half of them don't know what I damn first down is. Damn.....that Jack Daniels Single Barrel is working. I think I'll have another.

  Stupid rule. But lets be real...The 1st time some player grabs and rips himself some dreads, all the hair will be cut or tucked in the helmet.

  I can not believe the NFL they are going way to far on this one and I hope they don't suceed. The NFL is always trying to take the individualism out of the NFL. They have been doing it for year and the King is really tired of this it started with no face painting no celibration, now your going to tell people how to wear their hair?

  First off this is the biggest waist of time, money & energy for the NFL. Second, if I know the Polynesian community, they will fight for their beliefs untill the bloody end! This is only going to get the fans behind the players and against the League. We'll probly start seeing a bunch of fans in the stands with long wigs on just to spite the league. Lol...!
