NFL and Rams trying to grow NFL in S Korea

Interesting article. This is a gift. When you consider how baseball is popular in Korea, second after soccer, and hoops has fans in Korea you wonder if the NFL will catch on. Of course Korean culture in tv, movies, music, and food is catching on in the US.
What is damning though is this quote.
“They probably wouldn’t like it,” said Shin Youn-hie, Daegwang Elementary’s vice principal. “We participated in this program because of the English reading element. But who knows? Maybe one of these children will grow up to be interested.”
Kudos to them though for requiring third graders to have a reading element in another language. In Korea all kids are taught English beginning in grade school.

The KBO is the most popular league in Korea by far

Here's another quote. Kyler Murray can play for Korea. Hmmm if you get all the Americans with Korean roots who have played football from HS to college and all the divisions you wonder if they can field a competitive team.
“It will be virtually impossible to qualify for the Olympics with just the local talent we have now,” said Park Jae-sik, the general manager of the South Korean national flag football team.
He plans to hold tryouts in the United States and recruit N.F.L. players with Korean heritage, like the Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray, who has publicly expressed interest. The league’s owners recently voted to allow its players to join Olympics rosters."

They should have done this 20 years ago when Hines Ward was Super Bowl MVP.

Younghoe Koo sounds like a rap name if pronounced phonetically, but he's a Korean-American in the NFL.

quote:ehh, the goths learned Latin as well. We are the world empire and superpower it benefits other nations to learn our language but i dont deem it pertinent to teach ours that young. Thats why they learn our language
