Across the pond, football means something different — but no less passionate.
In this episode, Heart of a Fan explores the NFL’s growing fanbase in the UK through the lens of the London Games. From lifelong British supporters of American teams to new fans just finding their footing, we dig into how the NFL has built community far from home — and why it’s working.
This is a story about time zones, tailgates, meat pies instead of wings, and how fandom translates across borders.
