First off I wish the owners leave the hair rule alone. I do feel that if a player chooses to grow his hair out then it should be considered part of the uniform and you should pull on it to bring him down. The proposed change is prohibiting players from growing their hair out. I disagree with the leagues attempt to limits its player’s personal freedoms. It the NFL is concerned with an image problem it should stop focusing on players hair and focus on their behavioral decisions.
Another rule regards giving a wild card team with a better record than a division champion home field advantage in the playoffs. I do not agree with this rule. This punishes teams in a bad division and rewards teams who come up short in a good division. You should still be rewarded for winning a division, not matter which one it is with at least one home playoff game.
A third rules change concerns making all facemask penalties worth fifteen yards. Although the current rule is subject to individual interpretation, I feel that there are instances where a facemask is worth fifteen and others where it should only be worth five. This rule will give the offense another upper hand.
