The Sportsman wants to kill you.
Yeah, the Sportsman seems to be intense. The Flattop looks like the dude from Enter the Dragon.
I have to admit, the differences between some of the cuts are quite subtle and difficult to distinguish with my untrained eye.
So… yeah. There are differences in those hair styles. I know it’s real funny to be all like “omfg, afros are all the same.” but, yeah, I’m not one for over-the-top political correctness but I hope people are deriving “funny” from the fact that the afro styles may be very similar to one another and not because black hair styles are inherently funny. Gah, what’s the point. Nevermind.
I’m not really seeing a difference between The ‘Fro and The Sportsman, except for, as sbd mentioned, the Sportsman will kill you.
Blake, half of the styles look the same. That’s all.
I’m pretty sure most of us are amused by the fact that afros are few and far between these days - definitely considered retro. Lo has a point; the difference between The ‘Fro and The Sportsman is pretty subtle - you could wake up, comb it slightly differently and there you are with The ‘Fro instead of The Sportsman! How embarrassing would that be!? I’d love to see a parody of this with all stodgy white guys with hair that looked virtually identical. The Capitol Hill ‘Dos: The Jagoff, The Pedophile, The Dodderer, The Date-Rape, Don’t Let Him Near Gin, etc.
the names maybe only their nicknames
It’s not that black hairstyles are inherently funny, it’s that stuff from the ’70s is inherently funny.
The perfecto is awesome. Imagine the foxy retro chicks you’d woo with your smooooth bass crooning and the ‘do. Ohhh yeahhhhh.
im hearing guitar with wah wah effect in the background!!!
The Fro is a little flatter at the front than the Sportsman. The Sportsman also has a crisper, more trimmed afro, displaying the way sports athletes are very meticulous about their bodies: nice, crisp, and streamlined. The Fro, as you can see, is a little more, dare I say, messy. Perhaps, puffy is a better word.
