NFL Ban Forcing Players to Cut Their Hair


This week the NFL owners will be meeting in Palm Beach Fl. And one thing on the agenda for them to discuss is whether or not they're going to ban long hair in the league.

Now this hair issue doesn't seem to be an "issue" to many white players. However, there will be a number of black players who might have to go under the clipper to continue playing. If this ban does go through then the dreads, the braids, and the long ponytails will all have to GO.

Hopefully they will come to a compromise. But if they don't the players won't have many grounds to argue on. Because based on the little legal knowledge that I do have (and I'm no one's expert or attorney... at least not yet) the NFL will not be "discriminating" against players with long hair because the team management can set it's own terms for grooming. So I don't think Al Sharpton will be getting a new press and suit to represent the NFL Long Hair Player's Union...they just might have to whack it off or at minimum tailor it a bit.
