I suppose I always knew fans in other countries followed American football. But, I didn't expect to see a Japanese Tweet about the Washington Redskins.
【NFL】2013スケジュールが公開され、Redskins、開幕戦(9/9現地)からマンデーナイト(=USA全国中継、例年通りならNHK BSでも放送)で相手はEagles。第6週のサンデーナイト(Dallas)も中継ありそう goo.gl/wb7SO

The translation is:
[NFL] 2013 schedule is published and Monday Night (= USA nationwide network, broadcasting NHK BS even if as usual) opponent in the Eagles Redskins, opener (9/9 local). Likely relaying (Dallas) Sunday night of the sixth week
That's courtesy of Google Translator. I am decidedly unfluent in Japanese. Yeah, "unfluent" is a made-up word. Perhaps I'm not so fluent in English either.
@NFL_RedskinsFan could well be an outreach by the 'Skins or by the NFL. It's fascinating to see, perhaps only to me.
