You do not need to be a citizen to play in MLB. Pitcher Orlando Hernandez didn't become a US citizen until 5 years after he defected from Cuba. Cardinals first baseman just became a U.S. citizen recently but has been in the U.S. since 1996 and with the Cardinals since 2000 in the minors.

Not at all. In fact, we got the idea for our game from the Canadians, who were playing Rugby while our schools were playing something more like soccer. People from all over the world have played American football. Lots of Europeans have been NFL kickers, and there have even been a few Australian punters.

American football is now believed to be played in 48 nations.

As far as I know the answer is no, because NFL Europe imports American players and sometimes vice versa.
