There is a high-school football team with an unusual proportion of longhaired players.
OK, it's the Oceanside, California Pirates. A surprising number of longhaired players on the team.
Here is one of the several longhaired players:

One hopes this is a microcosm of changing societal attitudes and not just a California thing.
Well it's certainly not a Texas thing.
Hey thats great! Im reminded of that video that was posted it was a shampoo commercial for that guy on a NFL football team.
Here's an article on this team - long hair is not a problem here:

I played football in the military so of course nobody had long hair. However, many many of my teammates were metalheads so maybe that's the connection.
That is great. I love it. Too bad that's not in the state of Alabama.
This makes me so damn happy I waved at all my redneck neighbors. Not really.
Thanks for this Bob.
