Nfl can you pull hair

He will probably use the instant replay to see if a BROWNS player hair is too long, so he can take away another first down and cost us another game. With all the important decisions that need to be addressed this is rediculous. Cut your hair or get it pulled. My high school coach literally cut anything that stuck out of the helmet.

A player Grows his hair and plays football with it at his own risk. Tuck it away for the game. I have had very long hair most my life, but…. All players with long hair who wear it outside of their helmet or jersey choose to do so and therefore should man up and accept the consequences of being tackled by it; even if it means they get their necks snapped inadvertently. It should be fair game to tackle by their hair without penalty to the opposing player. In most cases the plays happen so quickly that I feel most hair grabs are inadvertent as players are diving or lunging to make a tackle any way they can.

Next the NFL is going to make a rule saying that any player who grabs the hair of another player must also smack their ass in the process.

Wear long hair, risk getting it pulled. Simple as that. A rule would give an unfair advantage to those with long hair. Football carries risk. You can drive fans away though and the NFL is getting dangerously close. I guess the union nailed every aspect of the last CBA. Getting the right to grow your hair as long as you want it critical to the future well being and financial benefit of all players. News Flash!!! The NFL has just announced that they have put a new rule in effect, immediately.

Any player who breaks wind will be assessed a 15 yard penalty. If the infraction occurs while the player is on the ground with other players trying to recover a fumble, for example, the player will be issued a warning and if he violates the rule a 2nd time, he will be immediately ejected and sent to the locker room bathroom area.

Anyone who has ever played football knows that if they put this rule in the books, half the players would be ejected. Pretty soon they will take away the right to tackle. Can they pull the hair if they buy them dinner first? People here think that players will actually grow their hair out to get a penalty on a play that happens max 2 or 3 times a year if at all? A defender needs to get a hold of a player to make a tackle. If the hair gets in between the jersey and the tackler, then what is he supposed to do?

Let go and watch a guy gain more yards, even go for a TD? Therefore it may be easier to outlaw extremely long hair if it is illegal to tackle by pulling the hair.

Guys like Clay Matthews do not have hair that is chest length so there is little danger of their hair being pulled. The NFL should limit hair length to shoulder length. If they do it cannot hang below the helmet. Then watch concussions caused to long hair under helmet rise for those players.

I already think it should be under the helmet for defensive players or you should be able to grab it. Mostly that cheater in GB should be suspended for PEDs Besides the freakin heat it causes, if your serious about the game cut it to preserve your body temp and lengthen your playing years.

Rule of thumb, If Al Riveron mentions it, either ignore it, know that its a stupid idea or just laugh out loud at his blatant lack of capacity to do his job. The man is making the NFL look even worse than before and the cred of calls from NY on review is beyond ridiculous and poor. AL exemplifies everything that is wrong with NFL rules and officials.

Until he is gone, expect a lot more of the same going forward. This will clearly lead to Patriot players with ankle length hair. Belichick is a genius at taking advantage of the rules…. Tuck it under your helmet or cut it. This is ridiculous. Then cut your hair! How is it a hardship to not have inch long hair? For rastafarians. Share on Twitter Tweet.

Blake's hair-pulling may not have been the only reason that Jenkins didn't grab his second interception of the season for the Saints, but it helped the cause and prevented a Falcons turnover during the first half of their Week 11 game. It also led to points, with Atlanta's Younghoe Koo hitting a yard field goal two plays later to put the Falcons up temporarily TNF: Dolphins vs.
