Well, this is interesting:
@alexmarvez Source tells @NFLonFOX that #NFL could play regular season game in China as early as 2017. Handful of teams have already expressed interest
I can tell you there's near-zero following in East Asia. There are huge fan bases for the MLB, NBA, and EPL/Bundesliga, etc., but not the NFL.
Sure, there's the CAFL, an indoor football league, but it's a real reach to say an interest has taken root.
But I'm sure the Commish will lead us to the promised land. It'll just take 17 hours to fly there.
