what's with all this hair?
Hey, all this hair is getting out of hand. how long does a ball carrier's hair have to be before a defender can use it to tackle him? Seems its going to take someone's scalp getting pulled off before this is addressed. Thanks.

The hair might be getting out of hand, but it is not illegal to pull it if that is the ball carrier is the one's hair being pulled.
Peace |
Thanks. So, regardless of the length, a defender can tackle the ball carrier by the hair? Thanks, Rick

haha. I just feel that someone's scalp is going to get ripped off, but I suppose there is no rule change that could ever be enacted here. Thanks.

At least the players know they are doing this totally at their own risk. BTW, I rarely ever see this as an issue. I have seen it one time in the pros and maybe once in college. And these are in places where every other player has really long hair coming out of their helmet. Peace |

great point, if the ball carrier doesn't want the risk, then get a hair cut. duh.

Maybe if it was common then it would be an issue, but it is so rare and no one gets hurt, why create a rule for a fixable situation? And I realize you are probably not asking that question as the OPer was. Peace |

Make the rule change be that no hair can stick out of the helmet. Don't punish the tackler, make the kid cut his hair.
I don't remember what game it was but the there was a roll of hair pulled from ones head and left on the turf. I'm sure you can google it and find the video. |
