They had a go at bringing American Football to Britiain about 12 years ago when the London Monarchs hit the headlines.

I used to follow it on Channel 4 with Gary Imlach and the main presenter whose name now escapes me.

It never took off however.

Personally I quite liked it. I enjoyed the strategic element of the sport, many plays being almost chess like in their complexities.

Unfortunately the typical British sports fan cares nothing for chess or strategy in general
