Usually when people in Shanghai talk to me about "football" they are actually referring to Soccer, aka football almost everywhere on Earth except the United States and now the Global Harbor Mall in Shanghai. For some reason, Great Stone Gridiron will train your young Chinese son how to play real American football. They also spent a good deal of money on advertising, Global Harbor is covered in ads for American football training. I haven't seen very many people in China actually playing American football but apparently someone must. I think it might be a way for Chinese parents to help get their sons into American universities and colleges with low ranking football programs but high ranking academic programs.

I wonder if parents in China worry about head injuries and post traumatic encepholopathy in their intelligent but not very brawny young football heros

It is a big country, not everyone can be a genius.
