While England's football supremos fret over manager Sven-Goran Eriksson's lively love life, Nigerian officials have found themselves in an even hairier situation.

But their plight has little to do with fending off rumours of torrid affairs. Rather, they are trying to get their young players to stop wearing hair braids, dreadlocks and earrings - as it makes them 'look gay'.

Some sports administrators feel players should be banned if they arrive with unusual hairdos. 'They should even be suspended for some years,' said official Ahmed Lawan.

Referees at a forthcoming junior tournament should remove offending players even if they are the best on the field because their behaviour was culturally unacceptable and promoted homosexuality, he added.

He said last week: 'Don't forget that in the developing world the braiding of hair and earrings have a sense of homosexuality.'

Well, gee, someone ought to tell David Beckham that in spite of his womanizing and tough hetero image, his hair style and earrings tell the developing world he's FLAMING!:7

1. Isn't David Beckham the poster-boy for "metrosexuality"?

You know, that dumb fad where straight men use lots of hair and skin care products? And didn't Beckham do more to popularize the sport than anyone since Pele?

[Fenris]

2. Yes, yes, and yes.

But apparently the Metrosexual craze has yet to hit Nigeria.

[Wat_Tyler]

3. Hopefully they'll lay a big punji trap for when it saunters on by.

[Fenris]

4. It will be wearing capri pants and a glittered pith helmet.

The sun never sets on the metrosexual empire!

27. Did it have a guy with a light-sabre?

[Fenris]

28. Yes but it was flesh coloured.

[Wat_Tyler]

29. Ah.

[Fenris]

It's a wonder he's even got any left in his head!

6. Doesn't kicking around a ball in those little shorts make them look gay?

:P

[Fenris]

7. It doesn't help.

[Phillycat]

9. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

[Wat_Tyler]

23. My sig-line is gay.

[dolo amber]

22. Well clearly, whenever I see a buff Afrikaan with dredlocks or cornrows

I immediately think "GAY!!!!11" not "Hm, dreds are cool...too bad they set off some latent homosexual instinct in the rabid homophobes..."

:eyes:

[Wat_Tyler]

26. Stop being so gay.

Obviously.
