Michael Quarshie, the young football (American football) player from Finland, checked in via e-mail this evening…He’ll be heading to the Oakland Raiders (a pro team) this fall! And another Finn, Klaus Alinen, will be with the Atlanta Falcons next season as well. Congratulations to both these guys!! I’m really happy to see Finns going pro, I know they’ll do well and I hope to see American football rise in popularity here in Finland. Find out more information on these guys from today’s Hesari (in Finnish).
