What in the name of who knows what are you talking about? And you are from Montana, how would you claim to know anything having to do with "gangster?" Sounds like you're pretty ignorant.
The issue probably came up from that Larry Johnson tackle on Troy Polamula. Johnson got a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, which was probably a bad call. The flag seemed to be a reaction to the hair-tackle; Johnson grabbed what he could, and couldn't get to Polamula's jersey because there was so much hair.
lol I thought I was the only one!I've always hated the look of that dude.
It's a really gay idea to be honest. Anyone who supports it has to be like 50+. Why not just make a rule saying you're not allowed to tackle by pulling down the hair. And the hair can only go down a certain length.
I'm sorry but long hair does not equal Gangster. No more than Mohawk equals punk, shaved head equals racist skinhead (if white), etc. With that said, my guess is there is a very small chance the nflpa allows this to sit, but I can see them instituting a "tuck in your hair" rule where it has to go under the shirt and not outside it, but I can't believe there is any chance you can force an athlete to cut their hair. Maybe they'll just be forced to wear Reebok brand extensions instead.

Because if you don't allow people to tackle by the hair, you're giving an automatic advantage to anyone with long hair... if it's covering the back of someone's jersey, how exactly are you supposed to tackle them without pulling it?
That is an idiotic idea, for god sakes don't they have better things to do.. if a player wants long hair, he assumes the risk.. no big deal..
If a guy is OK with being pulled down by the hair... (I saw one, was it Polamalu with the Steelers on an interception return tackled that way. To his credit he just got up and went to the sidelines like it didn't hurt.)
