NFL hair tackles

[BBG]

I got locs down my back and still think it should be legal


If I'm a fukkin NFL athlete im getting my shyt styled into ropes and put up on game day, not trying to be cool and intimidating by looking like the predator on field. Play stupid games and you know the rest.

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

This makes no sense. What advantage does HAIR give? Does it help them run faster? Help them with their strength? This is like saying some guys should switch to smaller facemasks so that defenders would have less to grab. If you accept that horse collar and facemask tackles are dangerous, then there is no argument for this.

Fam, if your hair covers the area of your whole jersey then no one could grab your jersey under this rule. Because your hair would be in the way... advantage.

A horsecollar is a fixed area on a pair of shoulderpads. You can't grow out your facemask, its a piece of equipment affixed to your helmet.

Just tie your hair down or cut it wtf its not that hard.

Hair moves up, down, and around. Jerseys do not.

So you expect nikkas to gently brush hair out of the way before going for a tackle?

 

[Max Power]

lowkey racist too

You see Jason Babin hold that shyt up like a trophy

The way Larry Johnson tugged at Troy’s hair, refusing to let go, told me he had the makings of a varsity woman beater.

 

[Professor K.]

lowkey racist too

Bet they change it once Trevor Lawrence makes it to the league

That's not how tackles work.

If I need to grab your jersey to stop forward progress but you have hair in the way, what are my options?








nikkas who never played the sport at any level shouldn't have a voice.

Sounds like a plot to discourage locs/long hair for this to be a legal tackle

Is this the game we're playing now?

I don't know what you learned where you played, but I was taught that you make contact when you try to tackle, not to grab at body parts, that's something you do as a last resort.

And even last resort actions have limits. Plenty of penalties for guys trying to stop others that already have them beat.
You can't say, I have no other choice because I had to stop my opponent when you get called for things like holding or pass interference.

If you can't run any faster to close the gap to make the tackle and you can't figure anything but to grab the man's hair or to horse collar him, then you got beat.

When I was a kid, grabbing face masks were outlawed but there was a time that it wasn't. Just like horse collars were not outlawed when I was a little kid, but they are now. This is just the natural progression of safety measures.
