We told you a month ago that Our Man Elli in Israel, who saved lives, changed the course of Israeli sports history and set the future of Israel professional baseball on a straightforward course for its next season (regardless of the brickbats and slanders hurled his way) with his unblinking investigative coverage of the first season foibles and post season intrigue behind the Israel Baseball League is also covering the four-team Field Turf Israel Football League, the first national tackle football league in the Holy Land.
Well, Elli’s got more than a pen and notepad this time around. That’s Elli Wohlgelernter, reporting for the Israel Broacasting Authority, in the clip above. Hang on to your jocks.
(Said one fan to the Jerusalem Post after the league kicked off: One fan proclaimed, "As a fan of football, it’s a wonderful thing to be here to watch American tackle football being played in the holy land." Oy, does that sound familiar!
