Thursday night was the kick-off of the NFL season.  Yesssss!  Bone crunching plays and violent collisions await us this fall and we all love it.  For many women out there, it’s the most miserable time of the year as boyfriends and husbands are lost to the TV set on Sunday afternoons.   The first game to start the season is the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the Tennessee Titans.  The most famous player of Korean descent is Hines Ward of the Steelers.  We thought of taking this moment to share his story again.

Hines Ward, Superbowl XL MVP, is changing the way mixed-race Koreans are viewed and treated in Korean society. Koreans celebrated his accomplishments and his mother’s strong Korean character though she was shunned by her own people in the past. Hines reciprocated the process of amends by starting the Helping Hands Foundation for the support of mixed race Koreans in Korea.
