I would like all Americans (and everyone else) who are excited for the Superbowl to know: Before the actual Superbowl there’s a live tournament on TV, here in Germany, called “American Ice Football”.
It is exactly what it sounds like: American Football but played on Ice, in shoes with entirely smooth soles.
It’s a tournament with 4 teams and they are called Eastside Ossis, Westside Wessis, Northcoast Naughties and Southside Smoothies and it’s just hilariously entertaining.
Here’s a video to show you how stupid it looks:
Also the players (who are all german celebs or pro athletes from other sports) and the commentator barely know the rules, which makes it even better.
Quite a few of them have little notes taped to their arms to remember the rules or next plays.
This is high quality entertainment.
If anyone cares: The Westside Wessis won the finale haha
