When you ask about NFL in united states,everyboby can tell,even a child. But NFL in China seems not as popular as basketball game.
With Yao Ming access to NBA, all the people in China knows him, and they like basketball more than ever before. Not only this, with his apperance,it impoved Sino-US relationship further,and brings more business between two countries. But recently, ED Wang is the hot Topic in China,because he is the first one access to NFL,the game which is the biggest game all over the world,he is the first one in Ethnic Chinese access to NFL. Will football be more popular in China as ED Wang"s apperance? Also will he bring more business in China,like his jerseys sale good?
Lets know something about him first.Virginia Tech"s Ed Wang becomes the NFL"s first full bloodied Chinese American player. The 6-foot-5, 315 pound offensive tackle was selected in the fifth round (the (140th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft) by the Buffalo Bills. He ran 5.14 in the 49 yard dash and bench pressed 225lbs 29 times at the NFL combine. Growing up he was a Redskins fans. He"s stated that growing up he didn"t have any Chinese athletes to look up to. Ed will look to be a role model for young Asian Americans across the country
Both of Wang"s parents were members of the Chinese Olympic track and field team in the 1980s. His father (Robert) was a high-jumper, while his mother (Nancy) participated in the hurdles, so he definitely got athleticism running through his blood. Since childhood, Ed Wang has trained hard under the tutelage of his parents. He grew up in a a strict household. Ed couldn"t date until he got a college scholarship. And no driver"s license til he was 19 years old. His parents also shipped DVDs of Ed playing back to family in China.
As it was shown above,we make sure that Wang can do as Yao did.I believed as his coming,many people know about NFL in China,and they all like it. Not only on sports,but also on business. I hope he can do it. Come on! Wang. Chinese people support you!
