Louis Rees-Zammit - Welsh rugby player now playing American Football for the Kansas Chiefs
He was a promising rugby player who received a lot of media attention but quit rugby last year at 22 years old for American Football, a move inspired by money rather than sporting ambition.
Since then the Welsh media have not stopped talking about him and reporting on every move. You'd think he was as celebrated in America as Catherine Zeta Jones although I suspect very few people have heard of him. Because Taylor Swift's boyfriend plays for Kansas Chiefs there have been countess Taylor Swift headlines related to him.
So what's the beef?

Speaking of Taylor, he reminds me of Taylor Fritz, aka Daddy Fritz on the Gays & Tennis thread.

He's small town, flyover hot, not global stage hot.

So Americans, is he vaguely famous in the US or is he just a wank bank fantasy?
His mother is Welsh (Rees) and his dad is Maltese (Zammit) which explains the pasty skin and dark hair.

He’s hot. I saw him in the airport last week. He was on his mobile and the accent made him even more hot.

He'd probably be running.

I didn’t really need the team to acquire him because Patrick Mahomes and I have a wonderful fantasy life together already but he will be a very scenic addition to the roster.

The KC area fraus were all aflutter on social media the week he signed because the local “media” here made sure to put out multiple photos of him as part of the announcement. His looks definitely garnered far more clicks than a typical roster addition. That being said, I haven’t heard much of anything more about him since earlier this summer - but then I’m also certain the algos don’t promote him to me. And as I rule I avoid the dismal local news outlets in KC.

I would dismiss news outlets, were I to rule too.

Oh no, sad news, Louis Rees Zammit didn't make the cut for the 53 deep Chiefs squad.
It's just like that time the gay guy was the first gay guy to be an NFL player and he didn't get picked either.

He'll be cut in the regular season. Eurotrash don't want to hear it - but American football athletes are the most superior class of athletes in the world. It isn't close. They just can't make the cut.

BBC Wales are no doubt planning a "What Louis did next" series as he deals with the disappointment

Well, if the Chiefs didn't pick him, the only silver lining I can see is that he won't be brainwashed by Harrison Butker.

Louis has been linked with a switch, which could be homosexual innuendo but probably isn’t

R32 True. I definitely got the impression it was only really in Wales they care about/knew him. I bet they feel a bit foolish for bigging him up now he hasn't been picked for the main squad.

The Welsh media don’t get much to write about sadly so over promote celebrities and try to get a Welsh angle.
They used to cover anything related to Christian Bale with ‘The Wales born actor’ even though he has said many times he thinks of himself as English.

Hot, but is there really a need to source football players from abroad?

R43 Not sure "haters" is really applicable here. They were the ones who criticised his move to the US - maybe out of jealousy - whereas now he's flopped people are just commenting about it, rather than being hateful.

Part Maltese? Perhaps he’s related to Pete & his dad.
