Are India's athletes big enough for American Football? You decide! When the EFLI was created many Americans questioned if Indian nationals would be ?big enough? to play the game? With 1.2 Billion humans in India, the mathematical odds our in our favor.
huh

Wolfpak for me. From what i understand, half the people who'll be playing in the league are rugby players, wrestlers, kabbadi enthusiasts, and so on, they've hastily recruited.

Having said that, this strategy actually worked out pretty well in Lagaan.

I hope this catches on. Football is too fun to just be a north american thing.

I think this is fantastic. Strange spokesmen though.

There is literally no chance whatsoever this will actually take off but the fact that someone is ploughing $5m into the fantasy that a rag-tag band of misfits can actually take the country by storm is delightful.

yeah, i mean association football has never been able to take off in india, so i dont see what chance real football has. still, its cool!

I'm gonna be a Pakistan Wolfpack fan. Thinkingnthose dudes gotta have balls playing an American game there. Also holding out hope football catches on internationally. That would be cool.

The scrimmage on the website was cool. Those guys are coached up well

I know right? I liked it. Maybe ESPN Ocho will televise a game or something.
