With such a historic draft class, it’s no surprise that we’re on the cusp of a great expansion opportunity. If I had a chance to create a brand new franchise, I’d go off the beaten path and try an international location in an unexpected place: Beijing, China. That’s right…I think the NSFL should take a global approach to spread the amazing American football game that we have to a whole new scale. With only one team in Canada, this is a great chance to tap into new markets. The Beijing Flying Tigers would a brand new concept in a non-American market and completely unique. The mascot would be a tiger with wings flying through the sky with the team logo and words ‘Beijing Flying Tigers’. The team could play where the Olympic Stadium was built and it would be big enough to hold a great crowd for every game. They would probably have the worst travel schedule of any team, but that’s not a big deal since they’ll have their own private jet. Other teams will have to deal with the travel and time zone shift so hopefully that gives the Beijing Flying Tigers team an advantage when it comes to game time.
