The Detroit Red Wings foreign scout flies to Baghdad
to watch a young Iraqi play hockey in the new American
sponsored league and is suitably impressed and arranges
for him to come over to the US Ken Holland signs him to
a one year contract and the kid joins the team for the
preseason.
Two weeks later the Wings are down 4-0 to the Blackhawks
with only 10 minutes left. Mike Babcock Gives the young
Iraqi the nod and he goes in. The kid is a sensation - scores
5 goals in 10 minutes and wins the game for Wings! The
fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted
and the media love the new star. !
When the player comes off the ice he phones his mom to tell
her about his first day of NHL hockey. 'Hello mom, guess
what?' he says in an Iraqi accent. 'I played for 10 minutes
today, we were down 4-0, but I scored 5 goals and we won.
Everybody loves me, the fans, the media, they all love me.'
Wonderful,' says his mom, 'Let me tell you about my day.
Your father got shot in the street and robbed, Your sister and
I were ambushed, raped and beaten and your brother has
joined a gang of looters, and all while you were having such
great time.'
The young Iraqi is very upset. 'What can I say mom,
but I'm so sorry.'
'Sorry?!! You're Sorry!!?' says his mom, 'It's your fault we
moved to Detroit in the first place!'
