I had a friend who played NCAA Division II College Football who actually managed to turn that into a professional career over in Italy. There are American Football leagues all over Europe. He made decent money and they even gave him a house and a car.

Also, in the interests of cultural exchange, when I was attending graduate school in Albany, NY, a fellow student from Wisconsin and I invited other students in our department to play some rousing games of American football (I am from Michigan).
We had students from Greece, Holland, Germany, all over the place. Many of them were pretty good at throwing and catching the ball, and the game wasn't too hard to understand.
Next they've got to work on a longer season if they expect the local politicians to build them lavish stadiums with taxpayers' money.
In Wroclaw we have American football team called Wroclaw Crew. :) Go Crew!
a lot of Poles have the build for being linemen, fullbacks, and linebackers. It would be good for kids to learn the game; it would be an opportunity get a scholarship to an American university
I'd like to see Mariusz Pudzianowski give American football a try.
I wonder how much time will pass before instant replay ruins the Polish version?
Definitely cool.
