The Arizona Outlaws, knowing that their player Rich Triplet played in Tijuana for two seasons before coming to the states to play professionally, decided to send him down even further south to Argentina as it is well known that Argentinians are passionate about sports. Argentinians mostly support individual players as opposed to franchises for American and most international sports and have produced some amazing talent. Manu Ginóbili, or Lionel Messi are probably the most famous both claiming gold in their respective sports. Upon arrival, Rich noticed that most there were not very big fans of American football, but Rich wanted to change that. Rich knew that he could move the masses and have them rally to hopefully one day send a player of their own up to the states to play professionally. Rich went to a youth rugby camp and taught them the differences between rugby and American football, some of the kids found this boring. However, some were enthralled with the knowledge they were bestowed and fell in love with the sport. Rich now funds a youth, ages 16 and younger, American football program for them and gave all the children a signed Outlaws jersey. Rich hopes these kids will one day find themselves playing in the ISFL.
