This is pretty cool.
The NFL is letting foreign born players wear the flag of their homeland alongside the American flag on their helmets. Obviously a marketing gimmick designed to make the NFL look more "International" than it really is lol.
I'm not aware of any current Titans who are from other countries. Longtime LT Michael Roos is from Estonia, a country famous for dark winters and hot women.
Some Chiefs players partaking
DE George Karlaftis, Greece DT Derrick Nnadi, Nigeria WR JuJu Smith Schuster, Samoa T Prince Tega Wanogho, Nigeria CB Joshua Williams, St. Kitts and Nevis

Todd Downing may choose to wear a French flag on his hat being a Frenchman in spirit, given how much he likes to surrender.

I saw the Jamaican flag on a helmet in one of the games and wondered what it was about.

If you were in the NFL you wouldn't want to put the Union Jack on your helmet next to the American flag?
Yep, Canada would be mine
Why were patriots staff wearing what looked like the Croatian flag on their jackets last weekend
or was that an advertisement sponsor

He wasn't only one one wearing it which is why I found it weird
I think the Pats staff are all related aren't they?
I think this is cool. The NFL is full of international players now. Glad they get to give a little shout out to their homelands.
meh- it's all about $$ and recruiting viewership in other countries. Totally bogus "heritage" motive unless they allow US born players that want to, to fly the Stars and Stripes.
No- they just have "relations" with each other.

Didn't think much of it at first. Then I saw the Panama frag and immediately thought it was awesome. Crazy how powerful nationalism can be.
It's cool knowing this was a plyer-driven initiative. Seems silly that its temporary.

Side note, if you look at the whole list of players, it's crazy how many freak athletes Nigeria produces. Impressive.
Wonder if Russian born or players with Russian heritage would be allowed to do this?
