    The comments are your typical of the uninformed, the racists, and the whiners.
    However, one makes a good point: Why did the NFL play a game in England? The English did wage war on our country twice.

    "Not only that, but the Red Sox pitcher is Daisuke Matsuzaka, who didn’t grow up in Wampole."

    And I'm assuming this means it's a travesty that we let foreign athletes play "our" game.

    If by "Wampole," he was trying to reference Walpole, MA, he's even more full of fail.
