An American football player learned it the hard way when a ‘bad’ haircut cost him Sh1.34 million. Quarterback Tom Brady was fined for sporting the haircut at his post-game press conference. The haircut violated the league’s exclusive contract with SportClips.
“I don’t know that Brady didn’t get his haircut at SportClips,” said said a league source, according to Sports Pickle. “But it looked high-quality and expensive, and that’s not from SportClips.”
The player admitted the haircut was not from SportsClip, a haircutting chain. “I fly my hair stylist from Italy once a week. I would never go to a mall for something as important as my hair. I would never let anyone other than Stephano touch my hair,” said Brady.
But Brady is not alone in violating the haircut contract.
“We are in possession of a video that shows Andrew Luck, a Colts player, cutting his own hair with a butter knife, that is not acceptable,” Sports Pickle quoted the source.
