I have one too. He used to play for the Pitcairn Bounty Mutineers which might give a clue as to why the Pitcairn Islands are somewhat famous.

I am from Germany.

I was watching the Movie "The Bounty" when i was creating this ACC so i thought Pitcairn would be a great choice, simply to see another flag than the once i was used to.

I've always found strange these nationalities where Football is a sport completely unknown. Denmark? Peru? Fiji Islands? Spain? ....

In most NFL players are born in the US, and I find logical and normal that all players RZA had US citizenship.

I also understand that every team "produced" young players born in the country, this (I think) creates a more personal bond with the player.

However, since you can change the name of the player, which could also find logic "nationalize" the player immediately or after "x" time in the team.

Be careful

DAFF

Federation created: 1989
Number of Players Tacklefootball: 2800
Number of Players Flagfootball: 600

Total members: 3.400
65 Clubs with 140Teams and 3.400 Members.

Member of Danish National Olympic Committee and Sports Confederation of Denmark

And from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_American_Football_Federation

Since 2000, DAFF has seen a huge increase in membership, influenced in by Danish television station TV2 Zulu broadcasts of National Football League (NFL) games on Sunday evenings. The sudden popularity of the sport in Denmark has been dubbed "the Zulu effect" after the name of the TV station.[1] As of the 2007 season, Viasat obtained the rights to broadcast the NFL in Denmark on both 3+ and TV 2 Sport (Viasat owns 49 percent of TV 2 Sport).

The popularity of American football in Denmark can also be attributed to the nation's interest in the long career of Danish placekicker Morten Andersen, the NFL's all-time leader in points.
