Americans love their sport. Baseball, football, basketball, hockey, pro and college, the United States is a nation of citizens who crazy about sports and athletes who are making the professional sports has become a multimillion-dollar business. Sometimes there is a positive influence in other countries because of the devotion to the people instead of "America's pastime." Dominican Republic, for example, are known to produce many good players to be often the highest level of success. One of the best known examples would be former Cubs outfielder over Sammy Sosa, who would otherwise probably play to a life of poverty and little hope, if not for his ability, professional baseball will be shipped U.S.. Sometimes transform some of the sport probably more than any other hobby, and accepted, in fact, as an approved source for the culture of a proud people. A good example is the influence that football had and still has, in the small island of Samoa.
American Samoa has a population of less than 65,000 people, but there are 28 Samoans currently on the list of NFL teams as well as many others in constant competition and on the verge of doing it on a computer. If other Pacific Islanders are included, as individuals from the islands of Tonga and Fiji, there are over fifty islands of the Pacific in the NFL, or 2% of all players is even more impressive given the competition the United States, a nation of 350 million people. Many of these players are not easy without Namers. Mark Tuinei play for the Cowboys and has three Super Bowl rings, Dave Dixon, a professional player for the Vikings, as Luther Ellis of the Lions, and Junior Seau is considered one of the best linebacker in history. Anyone who closely follows the NFL will recognize any of these names.
It is important to note an interesting fact that a high school player of the Pacific Islands over 40 times more frequently than the NFL to reach a student from the rest of the United States. This is even more impressive in light of how little the right team in the American Samoa compared to their counterparts mainland. Usually in poor areas to play with a minimum of equipment. Not the number of players who move on from this surprising sight, but plays more than 200 people in Samoa Division I college football (Fig. 2).
Why is this "American" sports is so well done in the Pacific islands? One reason may be that many young Samoans to see the football, as an American sport. Michael Mapu, a high school quarterback / defensive end, has a Division I prospect, saying to itself is. "I think Samoa is sport, not sport the U.S." Many young people grow Samoa that her older brothers play football, and then they want to do the same. The ability to go and play full-contact, meeting people is a major attraction, and in some ways football as the modern version is called the People's War. Football was introduced in 1960 and quickly became part of the accepted culture of Samoa (Miller 5).
Every year, I watch Super Bowl online. It is always a good moment for me and my family.
