World Football League Plays Ethnopolis United. The Problems of Asymmetry and Interoperability in Future War

摘要

In 2009, the NFL expanded to become the World Football League when new franchises were created in London, Berlin, Tokyo and Sydney. An attempt to establish a further team in Paris failed due to cultural problems, the French preferring to retain their own traditions. The high-tech American game generated considerable spectator and media interest, but the expensive new equipment and facilities needed to play it restricted the growth of the sport among the local populations. The WFL presence was only just sufficient to introduce people to the basics, but the game was never going to expand without major capital investment, something most countries were unprepared to do while the new sport remained unproven and while their traditional forms of football remained popular. For the foreseeable future, the U.S. will lead the world in high-technology warfare. Smaller nations, even those with an advanced technological base, are unlikely to be able to afford to procure successive rapidly evolving generations of weapons and C3I systems. Most will simply try to keep abreast of developments, planning to implement them fully only when threats to their own national interests justify the expense. unprepared to do while the new sport remained unproven and while their traditional forms of football remained popular. Virtually all of the WFL players and coaches were American. In January 2020, the Washington Redskins won the inaugural WFL Super Bowl and were proclaimed World Champions. The Washington Post ran headlines lauding the local team as the First-Ever World Champions and called the team 'THE Super-Power of World Football.' In Ethnoland, football fans were incensed. Ethnoes were the real football world champions, having won the 2008 World Cup, and their capital's elite team, Ethnopolis United was on top of the Eurasian Football Association soccer competition. The Ethnoes were fanatical about their football, which every Ethno played from a young age.
