American football in American Samoa

American football is a popular sport in American Samoa, and a significant number of Samoan players have played in the National Football League (NFL) in the United States. Football in American Samoa is played by the same rules as in the United States. In 2010, the island was home to twenty eight players who played in the NFL; a number that has increased each year.〔http://espn.go.com/gen/s/2002/0527/1387562.html.〕 This success has given many young players in American Samoa the hope that one day they will be able to play professionally in the U.S.
==History==
American football did not arrive in American Samoa until ''Reader’s Digest'' published an article titled "America’s Shame in the South Seas." This article stated that simple lifestyle of the island was really just economy of poverty. President of the United States John F. Kennedy took notice to this article and responded in a short amount of time. He did this by leading an effort to change the ways of the island. In this effort, Kennedy ordered an airport, hotel, school, roads, and homes to be built. In doing this, television came to the island and introduced football to the Samoan people.〔 The natives welcomed the sport with open arms.
