Three ESPN employees and a Green Bay Packers linebacker will head a new pro football league, the
Elite Football League of India. The catch: The league is based in India (duh). Rom Jawarski, Michael Irvin, and Mike Ditka are the backers of the new league to be
announced on Friday.
Brandon Chillar, the Packers player of Indian descent, will also be a backer.
The league has
top rugby coaches involved in training rugby players, so the league will likely have a different style than American Football in the United States. Canadian Football also started this way. Government agencies have also
backed the league.
Games will start in November 2012, and Ten Sport has struck a deal to
televise them.
