    I don't believe hair length needs a hyphen

    We cannot say "Should the NFL be allowed." Jenna's got the right idea by dropping "be allowed." Is there really an argument about whether the NFL can impose rules in it's own league.

     

    Let's leave it as "Should the NFL impose hair-length restriction on its players?"

    Herm Edwards... what a loser... literally... what's his record as head coach? 54-64-0 (that includes 6 playoff games... only 2 of which were won... with the Jets... and one was ridiculously lucky).

    Anyway, if a legitimate "coach" supports it or more come around, then it's definitely approve worthy...

    Oh, and I like Jenna's wording best...

    Herm Edwards and the Kansas City Chiefs in support of restricting the exposure of hair that covers uniforms and numbers.

     

    I haven't seen much else in support. Most oppose it

     

    I don't think the issue is about hair length restrictions, however. Players would merely have to tie it up under their helmut.

     

    Any kind of a final decision won't be made until the May  NFL meeting, but

    most people tend to think this issue will die

    .

    I think we can jettison "be allowed" and keep it to:

     

    Should the NFL impose hair-length restrictions on its players?

     

    The sample evidence you provided is pretty general, though -- is the hair-length thing currently an issue?  (Brett Favre's retired, I'm not paying as much attention the NFL as I used to...  )

     Mike Celizic's take

     

     

    I understand that there are among you some people who won’t be happy until everybody in the NFL has a crew cut, is tattoo-free, is a faithful husband and devoted father, drinks nothing stronger than iced tea, and spends his free time working in soup kitchens, visiting sick kids in hospitals and autographing licensed NFL products for adoring fans.

    As laudable as all of those things are, you’ve got to know when to quit with the behavior-control stuff.
