The long curly hair that sticks out of NFL football player Troy Polamalu's helmet has been insured by a shampoo company for $1m (£650,000).
Polamalu, a defender for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has been tackled at least once by his
distinctive 3ft-long (1m) hair which hangs down his back.
Shampoo maker Procter & Gamble took out the policy with Lloyd's of London.
Polamalu's trademark hair has won him sponsorship deals for Procter & Gamble's brands in the US.
Information on the kind of damage covered by the policy was not released by the insurer.

Why would that piss him off? He gets $1 million if they do.
Because it's distinctive and in some ways a trademark of Polamalu. I mean, you can't really forget about hair like that, can you?
I never even knew this guy's name, just his hair.
Still strange though.
His hair is awesome, it always has been.
Looks terribly unpractical.
That $1 million will go to paying for how much shampoo that rug takes to clean every day.
I believe he wont cut it because it is of some African Tradition of some sort, he was on Irish news for this :colbert:
I'd love to see him play rugby union with that hair.
Bah, a waste of money. Whoop de fucking doo.
Shoulda put it on Fusion Energy or something.
:bang:
He looks stupid :colbert:

It actually goes past the point of being asinine and actually looks kind of neat, in my opinion.
Imagine getting chewing gum in that fucker.

Shampoo companies invest in Fusion Energy?
And to think, this one million dollars could be donated to something productive, like a library or charity.

Nope. Hair is obviously more important.
Geico extends to hair too?
Insuring body parts isn't unheard of. A lot of celebrities do it to protect their "assets" from harm.
I wonder if he cut it off the reduced weight would make him run faster
They other players should do this in the locker room..

Also, Troy's a good player, don't diss him. :smith:
Wait... is that his real hair? Not even Diana Ross looked like that :wtc:
