Those American Football marketeers know how to get us on side with their Kissimmee’s QuarterBrit Challenge in London.
It’s that time of the year again when the Gridiron Army touch down in old London town and everyone goes all-American for a while.
And we’re rootin tootin too for our Floridian friends who are over to cheer on their Jacksonville Jaguars who faced off against the Atlanta Falcons at the weekend.
Before playing the Buffalo Bills on Saturday, with the Baltimore Ravens tackling the Tennessee Titans the following Saturday.
And so you’ve seen the quarterbacks and wide receivers and reckon you could do it.
And my own footie friend is up to speed with the game and that you can throw the ball forward after the Aer Lingus biennial game in Dublin back in the day would be up for a touchdown.
With the National Football League and sponsors Experience Kissimmee, the Vacation Home Capital of the World, inviting us to try out for ourselves.
And attempt the Broad Jump and Vertical Jump, Wide Receiver, and Field Goal Kick activities against the backdrop of Battersea Station.
