On the verge of the Summer Olympics kicking off the Honolulu Hahalua chose Miles Weperom and Sal Ami, their first two picks in this season's draft, to travel to Japan and work with the competition committee of the Olympics on the introduction of football being a sport in the Summer Olympics. Now, with the current cycle's games starting very soon it's not the intention to get football added to these games, or maybe even the next Summer Olympics, as the players know it'll be a process of both education and expectations to get the sport added. Being that Hawaii is far closer to Japan than the other teams in the league it was the direction of the ISFL for Honolulu to send a player from each side of the ball. While many around the league saw this as a rookie hazing type assignment, Miles and Sal understood what a huge honor it is and how much it could mean that they are the spokesmen that may ultimately get the sport added to the Olympics. After arriving in Japan the two took a few days to embrace the culture and enjoy the Olympic festivities. Both of them felt a deeper connection to the games and a burning desire to represent their country for the sport they love in the world's ultimate games.
