In all of the pre-Super Bowl media hype, I read a story about Giants Defensive End Osi Umenyiora who grew up in Nigeria. When Osi was real young, his grandmother went to the United States and returned with a blanket with the Oakland Raiders logo embroddered on it as a gift. Osi had no idea who or what the Raiders were, but loved the logo. It wasn't until he came to the U.S. that he finally understood who and what the Raiders were.
After reading the above article link, can't you just imagine a Bizzaro sports world, where little children of third world countries are running around thinking about these great teams that never really existed. At least someone in the world can celebrate an undefeated Patriots season. However, these kids probably think the Buffalo Bills are four time Super Bowl champs, and the Colorado Rockies are the 2007 World Series Champions.
