American Football League of China ..... facebook link >>> [urltargetblank]https://www.facebook.com/ChineseAmericanFootballAssociation[/urltargetblank]

I think NFL China would be awesome. Separate league, not this "have American teams play a game over there every year" garbage.

I think we'll see an explosive adaptation and growth of the game in China.

Sensitive much?

Not trying to be racist but I can't picture China fielding talent of any actual size outside of maybe WR. I have seen tall Asians just not any that are bigger than the kids we have coming out of high school muscle wise.

Nice article. Thanks for posting. It certainly belongs in this thread!

“People don’t grow up playing team sports,” Kuo observed when I asked him about football’s appeal among his friends. “A lot of people don’t know how to work together — the spirit of the team, leadership, teamwork. Football taught me a lot, man.”

And that is a big reason why it is important to China. I think the Chinese government will give American style football all the support it needs to grow and prosper.
