It's akin to the advice Michael Vick was trying to give Kaepernick this week?
For the record, I have a full beard and mustache and haven't shaved either off for some years now. It doesn't have much to do with being a non-sell out and more to do with the fact it is much more relaxing to rock the beard and mustache without having to worry about shaving it every week. Looking like a full fledged grown adult just happens to be an added bonus.
