The 2018 NFL regular season MVP winner, Levi.
This selection result not only leverages the history of the NFL, but also leverages the history of the four major sports leagues in North America. Even if it is placed on a global scale, it is unprecedented and ground-breaking. It finally breaks away from the field of competitive sports and fully breaks out of the circle. , triggering a frenzy of heated discussion.

A frenzy, a total frenzy.
The above is just the tip of the iceberg. Opinion leaders from different industries and fields have joined this craze, including society, politics, culture, Internet celebrities, etc., without exception. Thousands of ordinary people cannot contain their excitement and excitement. Jumping for joy, igniting a heat wave.
History is happening.
American football has always been regarded as North America's own carnival. Although all thirty-two NFL teams have been shortlisted in the top 50 of Forbes' list of the world's most valuable professional clubs, and occupy half of the top ten, proving it in an unparalleled manner. own value.
However, on a global scale, football is still the unshakable number one sport; even English rugby has its own World Cup, which is in full swing to seize the market in Africa, Oceania and other places.
(American) football has always been ridiculed as North America’s own sport——
Entertain yourself.
It is precisely because of this that Goodell has been trying to open up the global market. The market value of rugby in North America has almost been tapped. If the league wants to go further, it must go global.
Pushing flag football into the Olympics is also part of it. The so-called flag football simply means that you cannot tackle or hit. You only need to take off the flag tied to the player's waist to complete the defense, reducing collisions and confrontations and reducing risks. The other rules are basically consistent with American football and can be displayed in an all-round way. The strategic appeal of rugby.
Over the years, Goodell's work has achieved great results, which is also an important reason why his support rate among team owners remains high——
benefits and values.
However, although rugby's global influence continues to rise, we still have to admit that there is still a long way to go. Compared with football, basketball, racing, tennis, golf and other sports that have spread around the world, rugby's mass base is still weak. The influence in other sports is far less.
Every sport has its own iconic flag figure. A name is equivalent to a sport, and it breaks down barriers and has a profound impact on other areas of social life, but rugby does not.
In the current 2018 and 2019 seasons, even legendary icons of the league such as Manning and Brady have very weak international and cross-field influence. It cannot be said that they have no influence at all, but after all, they are still not ranked. The circle index approaches zero infinitely.
Until now——
Levi.
Not only is he the first Asian regular season MVP in the history of the four major North American sports leagues, he is also the first among the five major European football leagues.
Come out strong!
Regardless of whether you like rugby or not, even if you have never heard of rugby, at this moment, without exception, everyone is involved in this storm.
The situation that Goodell had been brewing, the moment that the league had been waiting for, appeared in an unexpected way, and finally completed the breakthrough.
Perhaps the historic moment rugby has been waiting for and looking for is just around the corner——
It's like Roger Federer breaking down barriers in tennis; it's like Tiger Woods bringing golf into the public eye.
Everything is as if Michael Schumacher brought F1 racing into the lives of millions of ordinary people; as if David Beckham made women become interested in football; as if Michael Jordan made people aware of it for the first time The commercial value of basketball goes beyond that.
One person, in the wave of the times, finds an accurate opportunity, and then can use a lever to move the earth.
In the bustling place, sights flocked to the place.
This time, it’s true. It sets off a frenzy in a mighty and vigorous way. All the eyes of all walks of life around the world are focused on this moment——
I waited and waited and waited, but I never expected that Asians’ first breakthrough in the European and American world would be in the rugby world.
Also, a running back.
Although everything is incredible, once you truly understand it, you can realize that it is far beyond imagination, and the shock will never stop.
For the first time in history, the sport of rugby has completely gone out of the industry. Everyone is discussing rugby. Everyone is an expert and can easily share their knowledge and concerns. Even rugby knowledge sharing accounts on knowledge payment platforms have sprung up like mushrooms overnight. emerged in between.
What is flow?
This is traffic. From being uninterested and no one interested to being a hot expert per capita, it just depends on one glorious moment that writes history.
Imagine that even people who don’t know anything about rugby are feeling the impact; but what about people in the industry who are really familiar with rugby?
Impact, ten times, a hundred times!
