Long Hair Danger

Cumberland County recently voted to outlaw certain hair styles for high school athletes. The styles that are no longer legal include dreadlocks, cornrows and long hair.

Cumberland officials say that this has nothing to do with race, but is a concern over the safety of the competitors.

Uh huh.

Yeah, you can hardly open the sports page these days without hearing about yet another horrendous dreadlock-induced injury. It's about time someone had the courage to make it stop. Bravo, Cumberland County. Bravo!
