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.
