What relevence does hairstyle have to Football?

[Pantha]

I saw this when logging into my E-mails, and it made me angry
I know some of the styles are a bit mad but a lot of them are just long, Seaman for in example is no more than a ponytail and in my opinion is the best head of hair I have ever seen on a sportsman (I don't really like sports so haven't seen many)
Does this mean that it is felt you can't be a good footballer without a crewcut or short back and sides, or that showing support for others through a hairstyle is wrong :(

Ahhh David Seaman, that hairstyle brings back memories of my Arsenal supporting days when I was at school!

And I always admired Emmanuel Petit (http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00699/sport-graphics-2008_699170a.jpg) and David Ginola (http://www.oocities.org/ginola79/ginola/ginola.jpg)'s hair back in the day :p


This "article" doesn't make me angry though, just another silly collection of pictures, I wouldn't read too much into any supposed meaning if I were you :)

its because they are out of the "normal". I liked all of them, especially #2!

I think you're reading way too much into it tbh.

I think you're reading way too much into it tbh.

Me too. When I see an article like that I think "another small minded twit decided to write an article on the internet." Most of those "popular" type articles are like that, in my opinion.

Your probably right, I'm just sick of seeing football everywhere I look, being expected to be interested in it and then I go to log onto my E-mails and see such a ridiculous piece of drivel.
I don't normally even give them my time and read them, I think it just touched a nerve with me.
I guess it makes a change from them insulting some actress for cellulite or not wearing the right colour dress.

Also, I agree that Seaman's hair is beautiful, but I want to take that metal-bearing ponytail elastic away from him and teach him about proper hair ties. :D

They're sure picky, aren't they?

On a related note, I've been seeing a huge number of footballers with shaved sides and a longer top and back (sort of a wide mohawkish thing) this World Cup. Did they coordinate this beforehand!? :D

Being talented or smart isn't good enough, you have to be perfect looking and let the public drool over you too, y'know? ;)
