Spring Break
Brit offers take on U.S. football
Abstract:
I'm not from around here. My accent is a little different. I pay for goods with pounds and pence. My wardrobe has only a few maroon and white shirts. I am from England, a country where football is played with a spherical ball over a 90-minute period between two teams of men who will fall over and play dead after minimal contact....

Fair point. Indeed American Football does exist in the UK, but as I mentioned, it could not lead to a sustainable and large-scale league. I think the pictures from the BAFL site showing empty stands from the 'Brit-Bowl' are a testament to the sports current popularity.

Haha! Fantastic! This is the sort of play I'd never expect to see from American Football. Teamwork IS possible!

I would just like to point out the misunderstanding of geography shown by Mr King. He refers to 'England' in a number of instances when in fact the issue is with the NFL in Britain as a whole. Remember, four countries make up the UK. That will be all.
