Ghana's football captain has 'unethical haircut' according to UAE laws

-

The captain of the senior national team of Ghana, Asamoah Gyan is part of a group of 40 players in the United Arab Emirates whose hair styles are deemed ‘unethical’ according to the laws of the land.
The United Arab Emirates Football Association guidelines permits to a certain degree, the kind of haircut a player gets before taking to the field. One of the most significant stories relating to this issue is when Saudi Arabia goalkeeper Waleed Abdullah was asked by a referee to cut his ‘un-Islamic hairstyle before he was permitted to play.

Asamoah Gyan, captain of the Black Stars has a trademark Mohawk hairstyle where he designs his favourite number 3 on either sides of his head.
The player has had the look during his  days in England with Premier League club Sunderland. Gyan has also previously played for Al Ain and Shanghai SIPG with the same look.
Gyan, who is on loan at Arabian Gulf League club Al Ahli is expected to make amends to his haircut as some Islamic teachings ban ‘Qaza’ hairstyles which includes the 31-year-old’s preferred style.
Asamoah Gyan was recently with the Ghana Black Stars team who placed fourth at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.

One of the founding fathers of the internet, Robert Taylor, has died. While working at the Pentagon in the 1960s, he instigated the creation of Arpanet – a computer network that initially linked together four US research centres, and later evolved into the internet. At Xerox, he later oversaw the first computer with desktop-inspired icons and a word processor that formed the basis of Microsoft Word. Mr Taylor died at home aged 85. His family told the Los Angeles Times that he had suffered from Parkinson’s disease among other ailments. Mr Taylor studied psychology at university, but worked as an engineer at several aircraft companies and Nasa before joining the US Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Project Agency (Arpa) in 1965.

MESSAGE ON THE STATE OF THE NATION  BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC, NANA ADDO DANKWA AKUFO-ADDO, ON THE OCCASION OF THE STATE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT ON  TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2017. Mr. Speaker, It is good to be back here again in this Chamber, where I spent some 12 memorable years as a Member of Parliament. I recollect with nostalgia the vigorous debates of my days here as a Minority MP, and I have very fond memories of being on the Majority side also. I can see some old faces from my first days here – like the 2nd Deputy Speaker, Hon. Alban Bagbin, whom I came to meet in the House in 1997, and who became a good friend of mine; and Hon Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, the Majority Leader, with whom I entered Parliament on the same side, at the same time. On December 7th, 2016, the Ghanaian people went to the polls, and voted decisively for change. As a result, today, I am here again in this House, this time as President of the Republic, having secured an emphatic, electoral victory. M...
