If you follow college sports, quite often you’ll hear of athletes going out and getting an insurance policy against injuries that might harm their NFL career. A quarterback might get his shoulder insured, or a running back his feet. Either way, athletes getting insurance policies is nothing new, but what is something new is NFL safety Troy Polamalu has gotten a $1 million dollar insurance policy on his hair.
That’s right, the All-Pro member of the Pittsburgh Steelers has a very important head of hair, both to himself and to Head & Shoulders, the company for which Polamalu promotes hair-care products. The Samoan-American has not cut his hair in 7 years, which lead him to his lucrative endorsement deal. Now, to protect their investment, Head & Shoulders have gotten Lloyd’s of London to insure Polamalu’s hair from trampling, tearing, or damaging removal for seven figures.
It kind of makes me wonder how much George Gaspar’s epic beard would be worth to an insurance agency!
