An expat named Erwin Sennett Wu was helping Williams time some sprints. Wu moved from Southern California to Shanghai in 2009, hoping to wait out the recession. He had played high school football at perennial powerhouse Long Beach Poly in the late 1990s, and a friend told him about some local Chinese guys who would get together every weekend at a park in Shanghai and play football. "They bought a football off Taobao — the Chinese eBay — and they were throwing it around. They learned the game just from streaming the NFL online," Wu explained. "There was a really small community that was really passionate about it." For a while they would just gather in the park and scrimmage, often bribing guards who weren't sure whether this was permitted. People would stop and watch, and more locals joined in. Around early 2011, Wu started Gameday China, a hub for locals and foreigners to get together and play some pickup. (There is also a Chinese-language site called TDL.) He and Mata played together on the Shanghai Nighthawks, the city's first adult tackle football team, and he occasionally helps out with the Sea Dragons.
