Penn State University is responding after an alleged letter from an alum criticizing the appearance of a football player went viral on social media.
One of the player's teammates shared the letter on Twitter.
The writer starts off by saying he and his wife are "older" graduates and follow all Penn State sports, and said "we miss the clean cut young men and women from those days."
The writer goes on to criticize the player's hair, saying, "Don't you have parents or girlfriend who've told you those shoulder length dreadlocks look disgusting and are certainly not attractive."

Penn State responded to the initial tweet, saying," While we don't know the source of this letter or the authenticity, obviously its content does not align with our values. We strongly condemn this message or any message of intolerance."

The good news is that college football as we know it isn’t going to be around long. Good riddance!
Paging Jussie Smollett. Race baiters disgust me.
The look like Uruk-hai.
those shoulder length dreadlocks look disgusting and are certainly not attractive.”
Absolutely!!
Dreadlocks look dirty, smelly, and disgusting.
I have been saying for a few ywars, now, that I don’t know why there isn’t regulation because of safety.
If he sent the letter himself, I guess there is no punishment just embarrassment. Free publicity for him is a win win.
considered part of the uniform and perfectly fair game so....yeah :)
There might be an entire eco-system living in that hair.
Do you think it's possible that Penn State has a consortium of young Liberal idiots who will willingly attack any gathering of young conservatives or a Republican club?
And when that happens, do these administrative twits condemn those acts of intolerance? Don't think so.
i kind of agree. I know it is wrong, but if you have dreads, I don’t take you seriously. I hate going to a medical appt. and having to deal with someone whose hair is all twisted up.
And what did they think of the homos raping boys in the shower?
Stupid old white folk dont really need to have their letters published.
i feel the same way about athletes wearing thick gold chains.
That is perfectly legal within the rules.
All it would take, would be for one half back to be yanked down by his hair to put a stop to it.
I notice a inverse relationship between the length of the hair and effort/focus/talent.
Tua Tagovailoa of Bama has the clean cut look. The team now looks like him. Even Jalen Hurts cut off his crazy hair.
Michael Jordan etc. I think taking your hair out of the mix increases your athletic prowess.
Was with my Mom in a hospital waiting room and saw a man with a bald head that looked like a shar pei. My mom, who was never shy, asked why it looked like that. He said it was from when he was young and had long dreadlocks. Seems they are very heavy and stretch the skin permanently in some cases.
yes ... a troll
“...nothin’ illegal about that...”
LOL. Awesome.
THAT would get me watching football again just to see these bitches get played. I’d expected this, but never saw it before. Thanks for the link.
IF this is a hoax, the team could and should boot any knowing participants.
PSU needs to get out in front of this. ASAP.
