Thing is, the guy is a Defensive Back, if he has three interceptions a year, tries to advance a recovered fumble or is a kick or punt returner (which he isn’t) he’s not in danger of getting tackled by his “dreads”.
It’s a disgusting, dis-respectful, filthy look, celebrated by a school much further in love with their own fake virtue, than reality.
I am not sure it’s filthy or disgusting. You may not like it; I am not really a fan of the look-but it’s certainly not filthy.
If the coaches are OK with it, I don’t care.
I certainly would not take a second to write a letter bitching about it.
