Are we rehashing the Jimmy the Greek debate now?

There are literally hundreds of articles on the genetics and culture of Polynesian families and why they are great at both football and Rugby. It is the perfect cross of nature meets nurture. If you read the article I posted you will see that there are quotes from multiple Samoan players who say exactly the same thing.

Halati Moala
Polynesian players are built for combat, built for football — big, strong, fast.

We love contact. That's been the history of our people. The warrior spirit is within us.

All of my Polynesian counterparts in the NFL with roots in American Samoa understand how the values embedded in our South Pacific culture -- community, hard work, perseverance, respect -- contribute directly to our success.

As a recall Jimmy the Geek said it was because African americans were bred as slaves to be bigger and stronger so they could pick more cotton. Here is the quote from Jimmy.

There was nothing about nurture or culture. Just that they were bred that way.

This is a great movie that gets into the culture of Polynesian athletes.

 







I'd say it's fantastic that we are even in these conversations. Sprinkle in some on field success (which we all know is coming) and this is going to get very fun...
 
It seems like the Polynesian kids like to go where there are a few other Polynesian kids, so this could be a good start. Agree we need to build the defense

I want Summerall as well. Really have to be building the defense even more than the offense at this point. I don’t necessarily want to see Nebrasketball on grass. More score like crazy, shut the other guy out. Dominance is better than simply out scoring.

I agree that it would be great to be excellent at offense and defense. I think being good at special teams would also be special.;)

Everyone knows this. Especially Asians since they are all intellectually superior. ;)
