Quick! Name a Chinese NFL player.
If you couldn’t think of one, don’t blame yourself. If you said Dat Nguyen, shame on you because he is Vietnamese.
Well, if you’re waiting for a Chinese NFL superstar you might not have to wait much longer. Ed Wang, a 6’4” 300 lb OT from Virginia Tech, is trying to become the first Chinese American to make it into the NFL. I didn’t think that Chinese people could be built that big. OK, there’s Yao Ming and that wacky Mongolian guy, but they were cooked up in a lab. Ed Wang, however, grew up in Virginia! Close your eyes and listen to him talk and you’d think that he was a black guy. But then it all makes sense after watching his bio. His parents were former Chinese Olympians who probably received the premium grains enhanced with special performance enhancing vitamins given by the CCP.
I guess it’s not that surprising that the offspring of two world class athletes would turn into a world class athlete. Maybe if I hooked up with the world’s biggest, baddest female athlete, Serena Williams, I could have myself a little Reggie Bush. Yikes.
Anyways, good luck to Ed. Make us proud.
