What the Europeans need to understand is that American Football is a kind of like a military campaign.

It is an assembly of army components. Linebackers = Heavy Tanks or Armored Knights, Quarterback = Commanding Officer/General, Recievers = Light Assault Troops, and the rest are the infantry.

The whole point of the game is one army is trying to move the ball to the opposing armies base/capital to score points.

Modern American military tactics are partially based on the concepts of attack and manuver developed through playing Football.

That's how I see the game.

Interestingly, Football is a Trojan horse of American culture. Specifically, those values that differentiate us from Europe. Making Europe more like us will curb much of the anti-US rhetoric, and keep us from becoming more like Europe.

Russia shares those cultural elements, and seems like a natural market for American Football.

So, once they understand that, you think they'll support it as strongly as they support American military campaigns?
