NFL rejects LDT request to add MD to his jersey
https://chiefsupdate.com/2018/06/23/...ersey-request/
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif officially became a doctor this offseason when he graduated from medical school at McGill University in Montreal. Soon after his graduation, he requested the NFL allow him to add M.D. on his jersey marking him the first active player in this league to become a licensed Medical Doctor in a very visible way. Sadly per reports, the NFL refused, although this ruling has not deterred the young to petition for a reevaluation of the ruling. Until then he will be unable to mark the accomplishment on his uniform. This accomplishment can and will never be taken from him, even if the NFL says no to the title on the jersey. I doubt the NFL will ever allow it as they do not want to any player to get individual notoriety. |

I thought that it would be cool. But DaFace is right. It would open the door for other players to add their degree, or even honorary. JJ Watt received an honorary doctorate this year. How pissed would a lot of you e to see the NFL let LDT add the MD, then see Watt follow suit with his honorary degree?

He should just legally change his last name to Duvernay-Tardif MD.

Probably the appropriate reaction by the NFL when a player legitimately earns their degree.
