Marcus Freeman becomes first Asian American to coach a college football championship game

Marcus Freeman coaches the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team. Last Thursday, he guided his team to a thrilling victory in the college football Orange Bowl over Penn State University. After the game, Freeman and his team celebrated and received the traditional Orange Bowl trophy. During the trophy ceremony, Freeman was interviewed by sportscaster Molly McGrath, who, for some strange reason, commented on his skin color.

“You are the first black head coach to go to a national championship game in college football,” McGrath said.
