Hines Ward was half South Korean and American.

Again, I have to assume your answer, that it is S. Korea for Ward. That would be a check.

Christian Okoye is from Nigeria

Check.

Marvin the Martian

Tunch Ilkin Turkey

Garo Yepremian Cyprus

Gorka

Why "damned" immigrants?

Just by matching the name with the country:

Janikowski gotta be Poland

Tunch Ilkin - gotta be Turkey. Peculiar sounding name in the same vein as Cenk Uygur...that piece of shit liberal commentator who happens to be Turkish.

Van Brocklin - Denmark

Jan Stenerud - Norway.

Since "Jan" and "Van" are Scandinavian names, I could have Van Brocklin and Stenerud backwards.

Frank Sinkwich - Croatia...."ich" is a Slavic name ending, and since Croatia is the only other Slavic country besides Poland on the list I'll go with that.

Because I am just mocking that piece of shit Trump who hates immigrants.

Just by matching the name with the country:

Janikowski gotta be Poland

Tunch Ilkin - gotta be Turkey. Stupid sounding name reminds me of Cenk Uygur...that liberal piece of shit who is Turkish.

Van Brocklin - Denmark

Jan Stenerud - Norway.

Janikowski, Ilkin, Stenerud, Sinkwich correct.

And I never used the name Van Brocklin. Not sure where you got that from., or you must have meant Steve Van Buren, not Norm Van Brocklin. That is Not correct anyway.

(Besides...Van is not Scandinavian, it is Dutch or German for the most part).

Really? You're not sure where I got that from? How about Van Buren.

Van Buren - Denmark

btw..you know that TDS is a real mental condition right? Its about time you seek some psychiatric attention.

Did you bother to read my post where I asked you if you were talking about Van Buren? Hello McFly is anybody. You are the one that couldn’t keep Van Buren and Van Brocklin straight. It’s a wrong answer nevertheless

There is Slovenia, Serbia, Monte Negro and Albania too.. there are Soviets with ich' in the last name.. and a couple others that escape my brain at the moment.. My mother was a Croatian refugee born in a war town in Austria.. She has ich' in her maiden name..

Yes, there are quite a few Slavic countries. Gippers list had only two listed, so Sinkwich had to have been the Croat.

A lot of ich names are also Slovak from Slovakia part of the old Czechoslovakia not to be confused with Slovenia.

This also is a good world geography and nationality test.

Frankie Sinkwich was indeed a Croat and grew up in Youngstown Ohio.......he played football with my late Hungarian father-in-law at Youngstown Chaney before going to Georgia and winning the Heisman.

I think Pete Gogolak was Hungarian and one of the first side winding soccer style kickers that I copied in the 1960s in high school......whew long answer. I also thought he had a brother Charlie.

Just by matching the name with the country:

Actually this is pretty accurate with what is going on in the world today with the coronovirus and what has happened over the last few centuries with immigrants in the USA.

Immigrants like my grandfather from the Ukraine who settled in Youngstown Ohio we among the ones that built this country working in the mills, factories and mines.

You can never underestimate their contributions to what they did including fighting in the wars.

Yep, though, technically it was still part of Yugoslavia when he was born....which would have been a good answer.

Yugoslavia which I was told actually means "southern slavs" was that group of countries that was tightly run by that old Commie Tito until the USSR finally fell apart and the rush (and in some cases bloodshed) was on to regain their own sovernty.

Remember the old Commie inspired Yugo ? For about $3,000 you could get a cheap bucket of bolts that was a new car.
