Marcos Breton: The passion, the trash talk - it’s the same there. The NFL in Mexico

Certainly not many of us gringos who would be surprised to learn of Mexico’s passion for American football, played here in a big way. So big 30,000 or more will turn out to watch Mexican teams go mano a mano, helmet to helmet, trash-talking so coarsely that even Raiders fans would blush.

So big that the No. 1 college sport in a land of 100 million residents is not fÚtbol (soccer). It’s football, the one college sport in which scholarships are offered, players are recruited, games are televised and admission is charged.
