A tackle in the European Football League as left-wing football fans divide on social media over its legal and ethical legitimacy.

During a semi-final between Frankfurt Galaxy and Reim Fire across the Atlantic, a player made a particularly violent gesture to bring down his opponent.

During the third quarter of the clash, with 12:26 left, Frankfurt linebacker Wael Nasri made a tackle by pushing back the hair of his opponent who was charging towards the 20-yard line.

The tackle sparked a fight, with Reims players objecting to the controversial decision, before officials intervened.

But the tackle not only caused disagreements on the field, but also on social media where soccer fans in the United States debated the legality of the maneuver.

Many were quick to point out that technically the tackle was legal, as hair outside the helmet is considered part of a player’s uniform and therefore acceptable.

“Yeah, hair is part of the uniform,” one social media responder responded to a clip of the tackle.

Another echoed their argument, adding: “It’s legal. Hair is considered part of the uniform.

One football coach even weighed in, admitting it was legal, but advised players to tuck their hair in to avoid it being used to tackle them.

“This is completely legal, as a coach I wanted my son and my players to have their hair braided and tucked into the helmet and jersey,” he posted. “Anything you can grab, except the face mask, is legal.”

“Unfortunately, yes, it has always been legal,” admitted another, albeit reluctantly.

“If it’s legal (sic) make it ILLEGAL IMMEDIATELY, I’m so sick of people pulling hair, especially braids/locs,” fumed one football fan.

“It’s legal but it’s definitely some stupid shit you shouldn’t do,” insisted another, while others quickly ended the argument with messages of “Straight dirty” and “Damn No!”
