SHANGHAI: New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady wants the National Football League (NFL) to follow basketball’s example and become a major sport in China. The five-time Super Bowl champion says he hopes to play an NFL game in China before his brilliant career ends. But speaking in Shanghai on Tuesday, the 39-year-old admitted that the sport he has graced has a way to go to rival the huge popularity in China of basketball. “Basketball has done such a great job and I’m sure there are so many Chinese youth that have grown up playing basketball,” Brady said, calling for the NFL to be shown to a wider television audience in the country. “If you don’t watch it on television it’s hard to become inspired.”
