We love football in America, it is a great game and is synonymous with American culture, pride and a great sporting spirit. NFL (National Football League) which promotes the game is the most successful franchise and is a close knitted family. Getting in NFL and owning a football team in America is every business person dreams. This is the firt time in the NFL history that a owner of the football team will be a Pakistani American, an Illinois based business man, Shahid Khan, who will be buying the St. Louis RAMS. The news has travelled faster than anything in the US media and especially within the Muslim American community and South Asian Americans.
For those who do not live in America, it will be diifficult to understand the frenzy associated with football, during football season, it is discussed everywhere, at work, at parties, at home, betwen father and son, between friends etc. This year the superbowl between Colts and New Orleans Saints was watched by 105 millions. Imagine next year if RAMS goes to superbowl and 105 millions watching the game finds that the team is owned by a Pakistani American. I love this game!
