Last Sunday, Texans defender Jadeveon Clowney dragged Bills running back Chris Ivory to the ground with a hair pull. It’s a legal maneuver. Eventually, it may not be...The easiest solution to the situation could be to place limits on hair length. However, the Collective Bargaining Agreement currently states that players cannot be disciplined in any way based on hair length.

File it under department of irrelevancy.
Seconded.
The pampered racists care more about vanity than about winning. It’s no surprise; they also care more about hating American than about winning. Let them choose how much they care about looking pretty, even if it costs them a meaningless game. It’s all about selling beer and selling a socialist narrative, and unnecessarily lost games don’t affect that outcome.
“Don’t want your hair pulled...don’t grow it long enough
to pull...simple”
Oh, but it’s not that simple when you is a big star on and off the field.
The Spartans were also very particular about their hair. They sometimes insisted that battles be postponed so they could ‘do the doo’ just so.
Some of this stuff is common sense. A guy's going to grab at whatever he can get his hands on to get a tackle.
Chris Ivory has no one to blame but himself.
If the league caters to this crap they are less than useless.
Let them deal with it don’t make special rules. In the LPGA, women with large breasts have to make accommodations.
NFL. What the hell is that? Some sort of leftist girly hair pulling thing?
PASS!
If they did that there would be enough players to fill out 12 teams,maybe.
With all those long draedlocks these guys are sporting, I’ve been waiting for tackles like that.....Good
Scalping is illegal
I imagine a good yank on those “cotton rows” hurts a lot worse than a concussion to those rich, millionaire thugs.
These are grown men arguing about whether or not they should be allowed to grow their hair to whatever length they want vs. whether or not they should be allowed to pull one another's hair.
Didn't we move past this stuff in grade school?
“the Collective Bargaining Agreement currently states that players cannot be disciplined in any way based on hair length.”
“disciplined in any way based on hair length.”
It appears that Clowney “disciplined” Ivory.
Let the issue be decided on the field. A few more hair tackles on Ivory and he will be wearing a “high & tight”, either by his own choice or else “motivated” by his coaches & teammates.
Have always been one who thought, Good serves them right, when this happened. But, I suppose it could be considered a horse collar tackle in a way which is illegal.
Change the rules because of 1 tackle where no one was injured? It’s ridiculous.
The NFL is incapable making rational decisions. It’s a social justice league where players run the asylum.
Back in the day when I wrestled, you could not compete in any tournament with long hair, long nails or with an unshaven face. I saw the number 3 seed in my weight class get tossed because he refused to cut his Fabio type blonde hair. I was bummed because I was due to wrestle him in the first round and had already eaten him twice during the season.
Why don’t they just cut their hair?
Tackled Player: Wow! Great tackle!
Ref: “Personal Foul, 15 yards, hair tackle”
Player: “Wait, what? I was holding his jersey”
Ref: “you had a couple of strands of his hair in your hand as well”
Player: “What, the guys hair is 3 feet long, it’s like tackling cousin It. How are you supposed to tackle him without touching his hair?”
Ref: “That’s not my problem”
Player: “That’s Bullshit”
Ref: “Personal Foul, 15 yards for unsportsmanlike like conduct.”
Player: “Seriously? This game is getting ridiculous”
Ref: “Personal Foul, 15 yards and game ejection for unsportsmanlike like conduct”
