If that was true, about 80% of baseball players would be ineligible for any award.
Persecution because of beard and hair length has kept Tim Lincecum, Johnny Damon and Jayson Werth from having successful careers.

Why would you purposefully sport a neckbeard?

Sadly he did it as a joke and has shaved it all off apparently. I find it amusing and I don't want to find anything about Rasmus amusing at this point. I really wanted him to think it was a good look at stick with it instead. He's disappointed me yet again.

I wouldn't go horseshoe/Fu Manchu though. I'd definitely handlebar it.
