Football players sometimes have hair flowing out the back of their helmets. This is dangerous since it is legal to tackle someone by the hair if it’s out there. Basketball players, on the other hand (the other head, actually), often put their hair in a bun. I saw a game where a defender whacked his opponent’s bun like a piñata and the bun came undone. Hair was everywhere (but no candy). It was so bad they had to take the man with the former bun out of the game. No foul was called ‘cause the defender only touched hair. I’m guessing that teams have to have a hair stylist on their bench now to reassemble these buns.
If I’m guarding the guy with the bun, I’m going right for that bun. It will be interesting to see if they eventually make that a foul. What will it be called? Slicing?
