Super Bowl Shout Out

In the first of my Hapa celebrity shout outs, I'd like to wish Steelers' star wide receiver Hines Ward good luck in Super Bowl XL. Ward, whose mother is Korean and father is Black, was born on March 8, 1976 in Seoul, South Korea. Growing up in Georgia Ward attended Forest Park High School and eventually went on to become a standout at the University of Georgia. The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Hines Ward in the third round of the 1998 NFL Draft. Since being drafted Ward has earned three team MVP selections and four consecutive NFL Pro Bowl selections (2001-2004). On his right arm Ward bears a tattoo with the Korean enunciation of his name.
