Suddenly it's far easier to watch people get hit

SHANGHAI - Fans of the National Football League (NFL) are now able to watch the game live online thanks to a partnership between the league and PPTV, one of the largest streaming websites in China.

In a bid to promote the games in China, the NFL and PPTV are offering free access to two games each week, as well as all the playoffs and the Super Bowl.

Chinese web users can now watch live broadcasts of games on Monday and Tuesday mornings (Beijing time). PPTV has also put in place at least three commentators, including retired Chinese professional soccer player Xie Hui, former CCTV anchor Huang Jianxiang and former Hisports anchor Zhou Liang, for the broadcasts.
