Getting Tackled By A Single Dreadlock Seems Extremely Painful (Video)

Coming from a bunch of non-athletes, it really doesn’t seem like there are many things in life more painful than being tackled by your hair in a professional football game. But that happened yesterday in the Bills/Texans game when Jadaveon Clowney of the Texans tackled Chris Ivory of the Bills by a single dreadlock.

Clowney tracked Ivory down from behind and just as he was about to be out of reach, he grabbed on to one of Ivory’s long locks, stopping him dead in his tracks. And the craziest part? This is a legal tackle!

Morale of the story? It might be in your best interest to have short hair if you’re a professional football player!
