NFL officials highlighted the global exposure this decision would bring and the chance to showcase elite athletes in a new light, emphasizing the cultural significance of the sport's expansion into global platforms.
I'm just at a loss of words... Just to think about the chances of playing in the Olympics and getting a gold medal is a dream... football wasn't global.
