Troy Polamalu visits American Samoa | NFL Films Presents (Show 9)

[@davidmercado6951]

respect to all American Samoa

[@on2wheels378]

Western Samoa doesn't get any right?

[@jordikeoni]

@@on2wheels378, Samoa (formerly Western Samoa) is an independent country/sovereign nation while American Samoa is a U.S. territory, and its residents are U.S. nationals. And since we're talking about the NFL, an American sports association, it's all about respect to American Samoa. Cheee huuu!

[@on2wheels378]

@@jordikeoni So I guess my original comment was appropriate... I grew up in Long Beach California, right next to Carson and Compton California where there were at least 5000 SAMOANS in the three cities combined... They didn't see any distinctions because they were all Samoans. Western or US...

[@on2wheels378]

[@mje19D]

The world needs more Troys. As someone who served with a few Samoan soldiers, I can say they were the most loyal and honest.

Probably the best 20 minutes of KZbin Ive watched in awhile, great people, culture and of course Troy, one of my favorite football players ever, not even a Steeler fan

[@mikemailei4491]

"sole let us know man." love it that was great moment captured Polynesian kids are so humble they don't want to speak up because of the respect they have.

[@DDAWGY1]

For years i lived In a Samoan part of town, I will now tell you my observations..... Great people, Phenominal food! No Samoan owns a prius lol Only Suburbans, Tahoe, Yukon, escalades... And this statement is more common than not. I have 12 brothers and sisters... And alot of times if they are bringing the whole family.... 2 or 3 SUVs will be needed with 3rd rows. But i have never met a more brave and honest people yet.

[@kennithbrown4036]

When my mom passed away I was hanai’d into her friends family and they Samoans I learned to be very culturally intact with life God blessed me into a family oriented family very blessed

[@princephillips7498]

The singing in the Starkist plant brought me to tears, Samoans are a beautiful people.

[@thefaiempire]

Thank you so much Troy Polamalu for all you do for our children and our people. May the mighty Lord our God bless you and your entire Polamalu Aiga. You are truly a Man of God! Alofa aku.

[@reallyhappenings5597]

Polamalu is ALL INTEGRITY. The same qualities that made him great as a player will make him great in retirement.

[@bradsully6620]

Exactly, and I bet he won't go broke either. He just seems like a really well put together guy. He's also a great role model for kids.

[@miguelgaxiola5877]

The NFL best ever of all time history strong safety 43 Troy who made the Steelers number once

[@mrconfusion87]

Yup! The Steelers have NOT been the same since Troy retired...

[@reallyhappenings5597]

I'd love to see the US invest a bit more in the development of all the overseas territories. They are so much more than military outposts, and can enrich us all in their own special ways.

[@masonstorm21]

Mad Respect to All American Samoans & Troy Palumalu, his wife Theodora & their staff. God Bless Them All!!

[@supersaiyant9453]

I'm of Samoan decent and love all my usos and other Samoan families🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸

[@Bellthorian]

I was with the 25th ID at Schofield Barracks HI from 91-95. I trained with the Samoans in the field, they were the toughest SOB's I have ever seen. They are a great people, I have always said in the NFL if you want to win games, go get the Samoans.

[@e30sheib]

Troy polamalu is a good man.

[@georgecoull1883]

Love Troy and Theo , they've been an inspiration on and off the field. Everyone should be like these great people the world would be a better place.

[@mr2010cm]

Such a fascinating group people, I really admire the way they respect and uphold their culture and heritage. Very modest, humble, hardworking, yet amazing athletes in a full contact sport.

[@elitegshaw5767]

I wish these NFL film vids were like 20-30 minutes longer. Whoever agrees like this so hopefully those who run this channel can see how many people agree.

Love to see so many rugby posts. Went to Samoa in 2015 and got the chance to play a bit of touch with them, I’d never felt so slow lol. Was humbled at how nice everyone was. Polynesians are seriously tough, not only phisically but mentally too. Faafetai lava.

[@hhdeng]

back then in 90s and early 2000s you got these big big big linemen coming from the islands to play at mainland college campuses.... as football has evolved on the islands i hope we get to soon start seeing top pro players in other positions other than linemen...

Wow good on you Troy, may God bless you and your family for helping out your own people, good humble heart you have there brother, proud of you.

[@taupoesera8338]

WOW Im can't believe your heart,we a Samoa proud of you mate love that works.

If samoan high schools had proper equipment and an actual field to play on they would be the most recruited places for d1 schools by far.

[@jjsteel43]

So more former or current players should help with that

much love and respect for you Troy the family. you got a good heart uso. hard to find people like you now days. the much you giveaway the more you get. lord knows

[@cale115]

Damu Bernard , hard to find charity at Times bc the far left wants the government to do it all, and they do it poorly like they ruin everything they touch. It is churches and conservatives who give the most to charity, and as the media and country are forcefully manipulated and pushed farther and farther left, just look at the nutters that are leaders of the corrupt democrat party, and you can see how socially people give less and less, and once America and Americans were the most charitable people in the world.

[@tk6308]

Troy is a good football player and in person as well. Hate the guy when he sacks my Bmore QB but cant stop love the guy football skills and love him even more after watching this film..

[@tonpalacios2964]

america samoa and guam actually produce more service members then any state in the us military. which is pretty cool considering that American Samoa and Guam are only territories

[@mjs3343]

Great video. Young guys singing on the school bus, reciting the fight lyrics as a team, etc. totally out shines our dysfunctional culture in the USA. Troy was a model player, always humble and respectful, and with a soft high voice too. We need more sports stars with his qualities.

[@antoniomontana386]

I'm from Puerto Rico and when I moved to ak to be a fisherman I met alot of poly's Tonga Micronesia and let me tell you if you from island life is island life I'm 6.3. they thought I was poly when I told them I was Caribbean it blew they mind like it did me when. I met the best race of humans the poly so strong huge but good ppl

I can't help but visualize most guys I saw in the video as bouncers at clubs. In fact, I think this community might be producing the most bouncers out of all ethnic communities in America. These SOBs are big.
