Assimilation: From Futbol to Football


The immigrant experience can be quite difficult without assimilation.
Learning a new language and culture brings new elements to anyone's life, and enjoying what you learn makes all the differences.
So after coming to America, you may like barbecue ribs as you like ceviche, or jam to hip-hop music as you do to Spanish rock, whatever the case is, embracing the new as your own can be the clue for a better life wherever you go.
And if somebody said that American Football is not for Hispanic people, then he or she needs to live in the U.S. long enough to know that passion for futbol (soccer) can merge into love for football.
Check out the people from FIU, a multicultural university, celebrating their first football championship.
