After that Clowney tackle that back tied his hair up to make it more difficult for the same type of tackle.

If horse collars are banned, these should be banned also. It's basically the same kind of takedown opening players up to the same kind of injuries.


edit: Just watched the video and a couple of these were called as horse collars, with a couple more being flagged as horse collars but upheld as legal when they huddled up because it was "just hair".

:francis: then players could just grow their hair out until it covers their entire jersey and theyd have an unfair advantage.

Just tie your hair up or cut it, safety first. Some of those tackles looked terrifying
