Pittsburgh Steelers star QB Ben Roethlisberger, who vowed not to trim his beard or get a haircut until he was healed enough to start throwing NFL-caliber passes again, celebrating this health milestone with a beard trim and haircut:

Well, except for Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf. He’s pissed about it:

Via PennLive:
“My concern is just a general concern and anybody who puts himself or herself into harm’s way is something i think we ought to try to avoid,” Wolf said in response to a question about Roethlisberger specifically. “And when you go to something like a barbershop and you’re not protected, I don’t care who you are. The chances of that virus wreaking havoc on your life increases.”
Oh, come on! LET US GET HAIRCUTS!
