PITTSBURGH -- Just call Troy Polamalu the man with the million dollar hair.

The long, flowing black hair that tumbles out of Polamalu's helmet and down his back -- it's nearly three feet long -- has been insured for $1 million by Head and Shoulders, the shampoo brand that is endorsed by the Pittsburgh Steelers safety.[/quote]

Because of the measures Polomula has taken to protect himself or [his hair] whichever is the most important to him, is probably the main reason this issue has garnered the attention it has. It's an unprecedented issue and one that may gather more steem depending on how the league views it in terms of both safety and uniformity. Personally, I have no opinion on the matter one way or the other, therefore if there's eventually a ruling I won't have a problem with it, favorable or otherwise.

[quote=Mattyk;435846]What do you guys think? Should the NFL ban long hair hanging out of player's helmets?

I do.


Aside from safety reasons which don't really affect anyone other than the player who chooses to have long hair:

1. Covers name on uniform. Prevents team from looking UNIFORM and complicates broadcasts when there are multiple players with backs of jerseys covered.
2. Looks unprofessional.




BUT, it's not really enforceable. I may hate the way it looks (hate tats too) but it's their own choice and own assumption of risk, especially around LJ.

I am as bald as the sun is bright but it would be absurd for the NFL to implement a rule like that. The NFL needs to chill. Next thing you know, they will try and ban tattoos.

If the military and the NBA can have a dress code and hair policy so can the NFL.
