Clipping during a football game is a penalty. When you're Sport Clips, it's your business. The national hair-cutting franchise markets "It's Good to be a Guy" male-oriented atmosphere to men and boys with stores offering sports-themed decor, large screen TVs in the waiting area, and ESPN and other sports programming on TVs at each station. It is the official haircutter for several sports teams, including the San Antonio Spurs and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Through its annual "Help a Hero" philanthropy, Sport Clips is the single largest contributor to the VFW's Operation Uplink, a program that provides free phone calls home to a deployed and hospitalized U.S. military.
