Talk:Hines Ward

Blood Spinning

After hearing about Tiger Wood's use of the "Blood Spinning" technique for "quicker recovery time", it was said that Hines Ward went through a similar issue. Some believe it is capable of producing performance enhancing muscle growth if spun blood is injected into the muscles. Could someone confirm this and include it into the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.171.0.145 (talk) 07:05, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

article excerpt

I wanted to point out that his mom's name is Young Hee Kim, and that her first name is not Kim as some newspapers seem to imply. In Korean, the surname is given first. For example, Koreans call Chan Ho Park -- > Park Chan Ho.


Hines has the best attitude ever. You hardly ever see him in a bad mood, even off the field. He has always learned how to be an inspriation and role model for all people. Especially back home to "Pantherville". Great job to Hines and best wishes to him and his family..... Cory Musselwhite

Picture

I suggest we put a picture in this article. I suggest [[1]] this picture if someone can upload it. The article in which this picture is found is here: [[2]]

I found a free use one on flickr, it's in there now. You're welcome. Quadzilla99 17:42, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Korean Tatoo

"On his right arm is a tattoo of the Korean pronunciation (Korean: 하인스 워드) of his name. Hines also has a tattoo of Mickey Mouse carrying a football." Do we mean he has his name written in the Korean alphabet or the pronunciation indicated in the roman alphabet using one of the romanization methods?

Nevermind I found a picture. --Gbleem 00:11, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

so much thing about his life in korea

i think it just has too much info about it. I want people to reduce the Korean part and concentrate more on his stats and career. That changing korean thing almost take up whole article. Also, for external link, it isn't right to have almost every articles about changing Korean society. It just doesn't sound right. I mean..why did anyone put it anyway? I know Koreans are proud of him, but it's not only thing he did. Yes, he's doing right job, but in this article, people mention about his work just too much —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.188.16.35 (talk • contribs)

  • I disagree. The problem is not that there is too much about his Korean heritage, but that there is not nearly enough about his football career. We should be adding, not subtracting. So long as you have sources (like newspaper articles, or ESPN.com stats) feel free to add as much as you want. --M@rēino 22:44, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

symbol in Korea

"Recently, he has become a symbol of the benefits of multiculturalism in South Korea." What does this mean? --Gbleem 16:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Multiracial/multiethnic: Why? Doesn't multi mean more than two? According to the article his background is Korean and black [i.e., Africa-American]. so, shouldn't the prefix be bi? Kdammers 05:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Citation for "The Locker Room"

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_412875.html

It is an article in a local newspaper that mentions that Hines Ward is one of three co-owners of the bar and grill known as "The Locker Room". Is it a usable source? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Royhandy (talk • contribs) 22:05, 4 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Mark Madden

Hi, I figured I should explain my revert of Endlessdan's edits on Hines Ward. I just don't see what this has to do with Hines. First off, how much a given sports celebrity charges for signatures is extremely trivial information that varies from day to day -- the average sports star will charge more or less depending on the trade show or how he's been playing recently, and will even sign for free if you catch him outside a show. The rest of the paragraph is a claim that, because Mark Madden mentioned this bit of trivia, something happened not to Hines Ward, but to Mark Madden, and that Mr. Madden is not happy about it. A sports star is going to have his name mentioned millions of times by hundreds of reporters and commentators before his career is over, and a good percentage of those will be insults. Wikipedia can't report on every single instance. Rutgers_Scarlet_Knights#Women.27s_basketball doesn't even mention Don Imus, for example. I think that's the correct precedent.--M@rēino 20:17, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I completely disagree. But I'm not gonna get into an editing war over it. If someone else feels my editing is justified, then they can revert the last edit and discuss their point here. --Endlessdan 00:10, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone..

update Hines Ward stat. Honestly, Super Bowl XL was years ago and Hines is close to break many Steelers receiving record. Yet, Super Bowl XL MVP is last entry in this article. Last update looks like on his actions off-field. Not good. He still plays pretty good, yet noone updates Hines? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.177.188.192 (talk) 22:07, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

HINES WARD IS THE BEST NFL RECIEVER EVER!!!!! GO STEELERS!!!!! BEN YOU SUCK!!!!! GO HINES!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.212.132.70 (talk) 20:16, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject class rating

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot (talk) 19:10, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Most of this stuff is true, but Ward was really tought football by a Duke Gravitt in the projects of forest park ga.They were supposed to be friends,but it seems that when people get the fame they "forget"where they come from and the real reason they are in the position they are in.I know all of this because i am Dukes brother. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.206.239.110 (talk) 17:43, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption?

Does anybody know if Hines was adopted or grew up with his birth parents? I ask this as an adoptive father of a child from Korea as well being a brother-in-law to a half-Korean/half-African American. I know that the social stigma in Korea is very negative towards multi-racial individuals---especially when its mixed with African genes.---Balloonman NO! I'm Spartacus! 04:04, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Balloonman, Hines was raised in America (in a town outside of Atlanta) by his Korean mom. According to Hines, even we Americans can still be pretty mean to multi-racial children, but he's optimistic about encouraging mutual respect and love both in America and Korea. The relevant source for you in the external links section of the page is this one:"Ward spins biracial roots into blessing", Paul Wiseman, USA Today, April 9, 2006. --M@rēino 04:53, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks... that was something I've been looking for, but couldn't find.---Balloonman NO! I'm Spartacus! 05:09, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ACL

There is no way that Hines Ward is currently missing an ACL. That account must not be well-informed. The ACL is a critical component for movement and would prevent high level athletic performance, especially without continual injury. The entry currently written is absurd to anyone familiar with basic anatomy and kinesiology. Please verify the true situation and history of his ACL.

career playoff stats?

Perhaps it would be worth mentioning somewhere his career playoff numbers (for example, his 88 post-season receptions are #2 in NFL history, only trailing Jerry Rice) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.207.69.2 (talk) 23:41, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Triathlon

Hines Ward is not a "current triathlete" and he has never been a professional triathlete. He completed the 2013 Kona Ironman Triathlon, but stated that he will "never" do another, as seen here: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/10/13/hines-ward-completes-ironman-triathlon/. Listing him as a "current triathlete", when he has completed one ironman, completing the race more than 50% more slowly than winner, makes a mockery of the sport. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.196.195.57 (talk) 16:54, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
