How NFL Footballs Are Made

I got excited because I got a new football for Christmas, thinking that it was awesome that these were the people that made my ball by hand. Then I thought more about it. My ball is a Wilson and an "official size and official weight" ball, but clearly isn't an NFL game ball (it's not real leather and it doesn't have the signatures on it). And mine says "made in China" right on the side.

Cool anyway, though...

Thanks to Matt for sharing the love.
