Ex-Ute Kemoeatu front and center -- this time as Steelers guard









Lately when we've logged on to sltrib.com we've been sadden to see our Polynesian community making headlines for all the wrong reasons. How happy we were to finally log on and see a positive story on the front page with a Tongan name boasting as it's title: "Ex-Ute Kemoeatu front and center -- this time as Steelers guard ". What's even more exciting is that (Chris) Kemoeatu is Ti Tonga's cousin. It blows my mind to think that the Kemoeatu's have not 1, but 2 boys playing in the NFL. Good job Chris! Congrats on all your accomplishments. Thanks for giving Utah and Polynesians worldwide something positive to build on and gain inspiration from.
Ofa Atu,
Fangupo's

p.s. I stole these pics from the Fangupo family website. Thanks whoever posted them =)

Isn't that so awesome!! The Kemoeatu's are such humble guys!! Congrats Chris and the Steelers! I was kind of hoping Deuce Lutui's team would win since poor Cardinals have gotten far in a long time. But maybe next time! Cool post Kiki! Love you guys!
