To the OP, We have a small Flag Football league here in Shanghai through ASAS and some people on my team have dropped out for the season (about 6 games left).
If you are really interested in playing drop me a PM and I will let you know all the details. |

For anyone who likes to *watch* American football, I highly recommend joining a private bit-torrent tracker at: http://tenyardtorrents.com/ Definitely the best one in the world. It's free, super fast, and you can download all the games and watch them (just be careful not to read any sports news and spoil it for yourself). You do need to maintain a good ratio to continue downloading, but it's not hard. I love my "Tuesday Night Football" heh... |

I see a few people here interested in a pickup game. Is that happening? I'm living near Century Park area, wouldn't mind either a scrimmage or just a game of catch. I have a ball (bit smaller than college size and plastic, but decent to use). |

uh...linebackers are not 350lbs. they need to run.
i know you might be going for the hyperbole here, but talking about a 350lb linebacker just sounds uneducated (about the game). |

Silly statement. American football is NOT played all over the world, and never will be.
Imagine playing that game informally, without the shoulder pads?
I cant. |
you can't even find cricket equipment in stores in the US. at least, i've never seen it being sold.
american football can be played recreationally via touch football (usually two-hand touch counts as tackle) or flag football (players wear a belt with strips of cloth that you pull - if your flag gets pulled off, it counts as a tackle). it's popular in schools, colleges, and even city leagues in the US.
by the way, as someone mentioned, there is an NFL Europe and canadian football league (although rules are a little bit different). it's a highly physical sport, so you need big guys to play if you want a professional league. that rules out most developing and 3rd world countries where the general populace is struggling just to feed itself. |
