Stuttgart manager bans players from wearing headphones for a truly bizarre reason

Kinda makes sense

You know what, he might be on to something.

VfB Stuttgart boss Alexander Zorniger has enforced a blanket ban on players wearing headphones in public.

While this may sound like a very harsh policy to bring to the club, he does have a reason for the ban, so that the players with smaller heads won’t be embarrassed, of course.

“The players are allowed to wear headphones on the team bus, but not in public.

“There’s a visual reason for this – a 5″5 small player looks ridiculous when the headphones are as large as the whole head”.

It may sound like an insane theory, but perhaps it holds water.
