Tom Baxter cut Newcastle United forward Joelinton's hair on Friday. The Brazilian footballer then posted an image of the encounter on Instagram. The celebrity stylist said it was obvious many footballers were getting professional cuts done, adding that if "I didn't do it someone else would". He does, however, accept he "is not above the law" regarding Covid rules." Edited February 1, 2021 by Baron99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

willman   10 #16 Posted February 1, 2021 why should they be treated differently to the hairdresser who remained open through all the lockdowns and refused the police to enter her shop ? Who had to be stopped from reopening on Jan 9th by a police presence.  Theyre no better and no worse than anyone else as role models,theyre just paid more and obviously better at football.
