Hair'um Scare'um

Yay! The Kansas City Chiefs have managed to make their original case, Scary Hippie Or Rasta Hair Should Be Stopped, to the greater NFL. By doing so, an organization that has been one of the greater wastes of time in recent NFL history has managed to waste everyone else's time, too. I like it when things like that work out.

Now, you may ask yourself, Self, why care about the possible hair restrictions on a bunch of violent millionaires who act as trained puppets for our amusement? It's not as if there's a Constitutional right to looking like Sideshow Bob on a football field.

Well, it's just this. Petty incursions on personal freedoms should not be tolerated, even if they make older demographics more comfortable. And if you're offended by the idea that your team's running back or wideout might get pulled down by the locks, preventing a big gain... well, one suspects that your team should have more of a margin for error. And you should stop identifying so much with The Man.
