My dad is the best. The last two Saturday's I've tuned into MEECHIGAN football via Skype.
At first I felt a little guilty for breaking the cultural immersion, but seriously, football. Everyone knows it's my favorite sport!
Last week during class, I was talking about American sports and mentioned this obsession of mine. I think I went on a tangential rant about how terrible my fantasy football team is. (I don't think, I know).
My world was blown.
Poland has an American Football league. And, there are teams in Sopot and Gdynia.
Unfortunately, their season ended already and won't start until June/July (leaves a VERY tiny window for me to get a game in).
However, it makes me incredibly happy that people in this beautiful country appreciate such a great sport! It's definitely not popular...even less so than MLS in the States.
But, I can watch football with the peace of mind knowing that it isn't entirely un-Polish to love American football.
