Posted by Joel under: Biz Dev; NFL; NFL.com .
With the NFL holding a preseason game this year in China it had me curious to see if the NFL had a web presence in China. To my surprise they do have a site and it has features that NFL.com doesn’t have such as message boards.
I browsed over to the Chargers page and not knowing a bit of Chinese I used the Dictionary.com Translator to see what the Chinese are reading about the Chargers. It’s a pretty funny read.
In English:
The San Diego team was established in 1960 Los Angeles, the founder is Pakistan annoys Hylton (Barron Hilton). This team is at first American rugby alliance one of eight teams. Lightning team this name is annoys by Pakistan General Manager Hylton’s franker York (Frank Ready) chooses. At that time Hylton extremely liked this name, because when they held south California in the avoiding stadium the university competition to shout “Charge! (Flushes)”time, sounds a little to like the bugle the feeling. The lightning team started in 1960 in Los Angeles to participate, then moved to San Diego in 1961. Afterwards they have joined the Associated Press and League of Nations merge the after alliance. The lightning team won the American rugby alliance champion in 1963 and kills the 29th session of super bowl finals in 1994, finally has given San Francisco by 26-49 defeat 49 person of teams. At present, lightning team by Alexander Si is flat 诺斯 (Alexander Spanos) to have, the value amounts to 561 million US dollars much.
You can’t help but wonder if American football will ever take off in China after reading that descriptions.
