I guess that's what they have have to think over. Do we want this sport look like "Professional Wrestling" If she did it for Locks of Love or something that even though I don't like that Org. It would look better then just hacking her hair off.

Well, if these guys cut Danica's hair (with permission, obviously) my interest in the Indy circuit will wane from Danica-only to none at all.
That stunt would make race car driving appear as serious as professional wrestling. And Danica would look awful! So much for her good ol' pin-up girl days! Best, Bob

I disagree. She sounds more like some animal that's been tamed and doesn't see the use in fighting.
Tamed? Seriously?

I don't think that Danica, her team, sponsors, family, etc. would allow anyone to "Threaten" or "grab her by force" under ANY circomestances. Don't you think if Danica didn't want the shave she'd say something? Did you ever think that she already has? Did you ever think the whole thing is just for publicity?

Right. Well, apparently according to your responses she doesn't want it shaved. If you can provide proof of that, than your comments are justified. Except saying (assuming) someone is threatening to forcefully grab someone isn't cool. I haven't read that anywhere, and I keep on top of the IRL better than most.
I can understand your passion for hair (long or short). Personally, I think it would be a shame if her head got shaved. But geez, this is just a light hearted thread which, by the way, is OLD news anyway.
Maybe the creative geniuses behind this scheme could come up with another rite instead of a haircut? Oh but wait, their skills are in the driving department (only, apparently).
Of all the things that can be inflicted upon another person (including haircuts), you just can't force someone's hair to be longer. (And no, that would not be a good thing, either.)

Here's a link from the Indy Racing League's website: Click Here
From what Danica said she doesn't sound like a girl who's "threatened".
Here teammate Tony Kanaan just has a big personality, one of the better personalities in the league IMO. Yes, he's a prankster and has been known to pull some pranks. If she does win and he shaves her head, I guarantee you it wouldn't be against her will.
When Danica Patick wins her first race her teammates have promised -- threatened? -- to cut off her luxuriant black hair. Do you think her teammates will really cut off her hair?
So basically her teammates are threatening to do something to her to make her more like a guy and possibly against her will?
So they could pin her down and cut her hair. OR What if she were wearing a bra and panties under her suit and they stripped her and then dressed her in mens underwear by force? OR Ripped her sleeves off and held her while she got some ugly tatoo?
Somehow what her hair will look like or currently looks like doesn't seem to matter much to me. Not when she's being threatened with bodily harm.
If she wants to get her haircut after a win then that's fine. I'm not for or against long or short. People should choose for themselves. But that isn't what was written here. This is a thread about a forced haircut. Unless there is more to the story?

So she can look just like everybody else who has "a style?" This is her style.

Okay. My eyes aren't deceived by hair length, when "assessing" (such as it occurs) one's height. In other words, were she to have short hair, to me she wouldn't look any taller. Some guys are into women with less-than-average stature, so there's nothing "wrong" with being short.

When she does eventually win a race (I think it's pretty certain that she will), I could see the other team mates cutting off one small lock, as a token. I also think she needs some sort of style. She is cute, but her long hair just makes her look shorter, IMHO

But while it does (probably several years duration), the person is without the hair length/style they prefer.
I doubt that anybody who has and prefers very short hair and were (if theoretically possible) somehow "forced" to have to endure very long hair, and only permitted to shorten it by 1/2" per month, would be very happy. (sort of mirroring the danicapatrick scenario originally presented.)
