Hawaiian
[edit]Kevin Mawae is a full-blooded Hawaiian. Bears center Olin Kreutz is half. They BOTH need to be linked under the category "Hawaiian-Americans" or "Hawaiian-American sportspeople/football players".... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.15.232.136 (talk) 17:41, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion to correct, expand part of this article
[edit]![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
I'd like to propose a couple of changes to this article. First, I should note that I am here as a consultant to the NFLPA, of which Mr. Mawae was previously an official. Therefore, I'd prefer not to edit directly but rather win consensus for changes. Here's what I suggest:
- There is currently a two-sentence section called NFL Players Association, which misstates the date and circumstances of the end of his NFLPA presidency, and says nothing about what occurred during his tenure. I'd like to propose a modestly expanded and retitled version of this section, presented below as I think it should appear, with markup in case others agree:
Kevin Mawae joined the NFLPA's executive committee in 2002,[1] was elected its president in March 2008, and was re-elected in 2010.[2] In September 2010, Mawae announced his retirement from the NFL,[3] however he continued to serve as president until the end of his term in March 2012.[4]
Mawae's term coincided with the death of longtime NFLPA executive director Gene Upshaw,[5] and the 2011 NFL lockout, which Mawae has stated he believes hastened the end of his playing career. During the NFL kickoff game broadcast in 2010, players from the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings "raised an index finger" as they took the field, a gesture Mawe has called "one of the proudest moments I ever had".[2]
According to Mawae, it was under his presidency that active players were present for negotiations of the collective bargaining agreement.[1] He has also served as an assistant coach in the annual NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.[6]References

- Relatedly, there is no mention of the NFLPA in the introduction whatsoever. I'd suggest a new final sentence of the introductory paragraph, as follows:
