The Bundesliga and China - falling in love again?

Image
Once kings of China's football scene, the Bundesliga has fallen behind Europe's star-heavy leagues. But thanks to summer exhibitions and social media engagement, the German league is making a comeback. China is a huge target market for sports leagues around the world. In the late 1980s, the National Basketball Association (NBA) in the US was one of the first western leagues to show how lucrative sports marketing in China can be. Many European football leagues have since followed suit and now they are facilitators of China's drive to become a football superpower. If it seems like European football leagues are jumping on the bandwagon, one should remember that the Bundesliga was the trendsetter. Chinese football fanatics have been able to watch Germany's top league on China Central Television (CCTV) since 1995, and its only competition at the time were Italy's Serie A and the NBA.

From Top to Bottom, Teams Already Feeling Pain

Image
From the top of the NFL to the bottom of the heap, teams are already feeling the pain. From injuries. Key performers are dropping like they've been through two months of the season, not two weeks. The latest:  Adrian Peterson  , Jimmy Garoppolo,  DeMarcus Ware , Josh McCown, Danny Woodhead, Jonathan Stewart and Arian Foster. The Patriots, perhaps the league's best team, appear to be down to their third QB. The Browns, possibly the NFL's worst team, also might be working on No. 3. Most worrisome, though, is Peterson, the 2012 league MVP and Minnesota's cornerstone on offense. He has remarkable recovery skills — Peterson tore the ACL in his left knee in the second-to-last game of the 2011 season, then played all of 2012 and rushed for more than 2,000 yards. But this is four years later, it's the other knee and he was unable to put pressure on his leg as he hobbled off the field. Then Peterson needed help getting to the locker room. He was on crutches after the game, w...
