I like this read. I'm pretty sure a lot of you will like it, too.

Edit: Here's my favorite part.

Consider the most memorable moment of Super Bowl XL three months ago: On the touchdown play that secured a fifth Vince Lombardi Trophy for the Pittsburgh Steelers, a white quarterback born and raised in Middle America and drafted in the first round (Ben Roethlisberger) handed off to a black tailback from a small town in North Carolina who made the roster as a free agent (Willie Parker). He reversed the ball to a player with a Muslim-sounding surname but who was raised in the Pentecostal faith (Antwaan Randle El), who then threw it to a wide receiver born in Seoul, South Korea, (Hines Ward) to parents of mixed races, for a game-clinching 43-yard hookup.

It's good to see the NFL having players from all around the world, it's just too bad the name American gets tacked in front of football to cure confusion. I kinda wish a different name for the sport was chosen way back when, because Europeans nor Americans are gonna budge on this and football will always mean 2 different things.

Diversity is always agood thing.
