I have found myself using words like "historic" and "ground-breaking" and "it's real" a lot recently.

For two years, I have been part of a group working to bring football to China.

Now, it's happening. AFL-Global, based in my hometown of Philadelphia, and led by my partner Marty Judge, just completed a two-week tour of six China Sports Universities that have formally signed on to develop an US-style arena football league.
