I turned my back on anything related to pro football long ago because my hometown—Los Angeles—hasn’t had an NFL franchise for 13 seasons. Politics. Greed. Sickening.
But this year I’ve relented. Finding it impossible to keep ignoring the growing presence of Asian/Pacific Island Americans in the NFL, I’ve decided to become a pathological sports bettor fan again.
The reason I mention this is because today is opening day of the 2007-08 NFL season. And it should be a momentous one for the 48 API athletes who’ve survived pre-season scrutiny to make it to America’s game.
