Whats controversial about Mohawk haircut?

[Electus Unus]

I just read that it was controversial in the Rockdale newspaper. Weird I think that they consider it controversial

[BobcatBenny]

Well for one, I was just reading a study on how different hair styles affect the potential of a helmet's (specifically football) protection of the wearer. The Mohawk style created the most significant design and engineering issues in the entire study.

Not a fan of either. Of course, if someone says something negative about dreds, they will immediately be labeled a racist.

I pity the fool who don't like mohawks!!!

[bigwood33]

:tisk: :tisk: No pity needed. I'm more of a crew cut guy than a mohawk guy.

How about that it's just stupid ... and shows how much a teenager is NOT being an individual ... just like tattoos, lip and body piercings, and funky colored hair. The body God gave you is fine the way it its.
What would you think if we strung Christmas lights all around the Grand Canyon?

Nothing wrong IF you understand "Shumani Tutanka Owachi"...(I know it's Lakota Siouan not Mohawk, but you get my point)

IF NOT, just cut your hair. Save the "self-expression" for after you're earning your own living ...

Nothing wrong with having a mohawk if its like a 3 and the rest of the head is a 1. And i don't get why dreads are allowed but other kid's are not allowed to have long hair.....Jesus had long hair, so why cant the kids?

[Phantom Stang]

High School football players have gotten Mohawks, off and on, since at least the 1940s.

[DU_stud04]

i have a kid on my select team with a mohawk. told him he could keep it if i never catch anyone out hustle him. he has the technique and skill....if he stays with football and keeps his nose clean, yall might be hearing his name as a top recruit in a few years for dlinemen. told the team if we go undefeated they can cut my hair like that.....bad thing for me they haven't lost in 3 years :(

:D

this implies we shouldnt cut our hair or anything. and how do you feel about ladies piercing their ears....and why is a mohawk just stupid? its just another different type of hair cut isnt it? and whats wrong with tattoos

Read my first post closely. It's my own personal belief that it is tacky, hideous, and unnecessary to pierce, tattoo, or color the human body. I'm okay with traditional ear piercings (as long as there aren't 20 of them).
Teenagers do this for one reason and one reason only--shock value. They don't do it to "express themselves" or to "be an individual." Just shock value.
My oldest daughter started college last year and we told her about two non-negotiables: tattoos and lip or body piercings. I found out she got a lip ring. Her mother called her and told her NOT to come home with it. She had it taken out and the hole healed up. I don't believe she lost any of her individuality along the way.
Now, when she is paying her own way, she can do whatever she wants.

Yeah...shock value to stand out from cookie-cutter traditional views.....obviously not a single person who has ever gotten a tattoo did it to express their self:rolleyes:

[Ranger Mom]

You should have seen the tattoo that 44inarow sent me in a email today!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

Definitely not board appropriate!!!

[jimmyceatworld]

I had a teammate who got a mohawk during two a days my senior year. The first day of school after our principal had seen it, he got on the PA and said something like, "although it's not in the school rule book, mohawks aren't allowed."

It seems to me that people too often squeeze ideas into much too small of boxes.

[formercougar18]

it's 2009 some people need to realize that people really don't care anymore. Just because a kid has a tat, a mohawk, or his ears pierced does not make him a bad football player, or a bad kid. These are just dumb stereotypes that some people can't get over. Half of the kids who have tattoos, body piercings, or mohawks are probably smarter than half the people who are talking mess about them.

That goes for the same thing as far as music and movies someone likes and anything else that is shown on the outside of the person, people will have their stereotypes let them have at it. Even though they look like fools in the process they won't learn to stop.

There are vast amounts of people that are more intelligent than 'ol Benny.

But ... unless you are a sailor, Marine or Ranger Mom ... stay away from tattoos.

And ... if you do not work in a "Freak" show ... avoid drastic piercings.

Neither is a sign of intelligence.

Hair ... on the other hand ... usually grows back ... or on your back.

Get a mowhawk? ... Only if you are tough enough to deal with consequences. If you want to stand out as an individual in a team environment ... you are setting yourself up for a lot of pain ... At least if you are on Benny's team. :eek:

And ... tolerance towards people making bad choices ... is going to fall out of fashion. And "Care" is going to eventually replace "PC" again.

[Farmersfan]

I really don't see the logic behind this discussion. It's pretty obvious that it's ALL based on bringing about attention. Perhaps not always "Shock Value" but attention none the less!

Funny, the girl in the back is cute with her hair cut, but the boy in the front makes me want to slap him. I think it is the make-up. His sister still looks tasteful, but he just looks like a wannabe of some sort. Mom should keep him home so I don't have to see him at the mall.:p :)

I don't see a boy in that photo.


On topic our whole football team got mohawks (cut real short) last year as a show of team unity. Didn't bother me.

I didn't think that was a boy, either. Some of our boys showed up with mohawks the first day, too. They no longer have them. I think someone may have informed them that it wasn't such a good idea after all....:thinking:

If I understand that correctly, we (men or women) should never shave nor get a haircut?

[formercougar18]

so since were talking about shock value and everything.....Benny, what about celina and all their spats, and neck rolls? That is all shock value and makes the team stand out? It sure doesnt make anyone else look more intelligent either. I mean i know i went to china spring and played against yall and we lost, but we weren't allowed to wear any of that stuff, not even arm bands. And i agree that i would have liked to have worn all of that, but It is all for looks and everything just like piercings, tats, and mohawks.

It is 2009... so should there be no standards of any dress codes? No standards period? Where do you draw the line?:D
.
So are you saying that half of the kids "who have tattoos, body piercings, or mohawks" are dumber than the people "talking mess" now?:p :D
