First I’ve seen that the victim was Tulsi’s aunt, but. I think the story was on FR a couple of days ago.

Samoans can be violent people. I don’t know why she would do this, however.

NFL is so elite that most players were identified since elementary for their ability and given lots of support through their schooling years. You pretty much know by grade 6 if an elementary prospect has a chance of making it to the NFL.

Having said that, the NFL would be good to go to Samoa and see if there is a way to train them from elementary, like every other NFL prospect.

They like using hammers there in Hawaii to murder someone.
