When Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said he wouldn't cut his hair or shave until he could throw again following September elbow surgery, he surely thought the only obstacle he would have to overcome was his own rehab and recovery process.
Instead, he and so many others faced a situation where barbershops and hair salons were closed because of COVID-19 concerns.
Pennsylvania governor Tom Wolf was not pleased that Roethlisberger elected to get a haircut when Allegheny and many other counties are in the "yellow" phase of reopening and not the "green" one required for barbershops and hair salons to open.
