PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The snap is down! The kick is good! Steelers kicker Shaun Suisham was money in the bank, before a tackle put him out of action earlier this season.

He’s had a gung ho American spirit, even though he was a Canadian citizen.

Until now that is.

Suisham took the oath of citizenship along with many others, in a naturalization ceremony at the Pittsburgh Field Office Wednesday. His American-born daughters and wife, Erin, watched proudly.

“I couldn’t stand the thought of ever being separated, for any reason, from my girls,” he said. “And that’s the catalyst for going through this.”

The Steelers kicker was one of 32 new citizens being sworn in Wednesday afternoon. They come from 14 countries, ranging from Bhutan to South Sudan.

I wonder if he had to give up his Canadian citizenship.

It is not a requirement.

I wonder if he had to give up his Canadian citizenship.

I wish nthat would change as it's not required (i don't think). I'd hate to have him collecting food stamps here and living in canada.............




Salute the nation

I had to give up my German citizenship once upon a time..(78)

So a guy who sucked, who got hurt, causing us to eventually find a diamond in the rough, wasn't a US citizen but now is?

I would say we have officially hit the off-season with the draft being months away.
