this is a very inaccurate statement. every player that chooses to wear gloves will wear only N.F.L. approved gloves. same with the socks and undershirts. its so bad that the height of a players socks often comes into question. every game has a so called fashion police working. they are employed by the N.F.L and warn players about possible fines if the unis aren't adjusted. there is a way for the league to get guys to cut their hair. its just like the Yankee's, no long hair, or facial hair. basically, every employer could demand this, if wanted.

1. I know that, however the fines do not prevent them from doing whatever the hell they want. They will glady break the rules in spite of fines.

2. There is a difference between semi uniformity and complete uniformity. Complete uniformity does not, nor will it ever exist in the NFL.


Personally I do not like long hair, but to each his own. I understand that some cultures grow their hair out for whatever reason. They might have a hard time swallowing a pill that says you must look like everyone else. They did not join the Military. But if you say that you want them to tuck their hair for safety reasons, then you are not alienating a people with conflicting hair length beliefs; instead you are looking out for them.

It is just a way of attracting more flies with honey.
