Russell Wilson on China visit talks up Alibaba, the global rival to Seattle-based Amazon

Is Russell Wilson, charismatic quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, about to start making plays for a big challenger to the hometown team?

We’re not talking about a football rival like the San Francisco 49rs or the New England Patriots. This would be a rival to Seattle-based e-commerce juggernaut Amazon — China’s giant e-commerce company Alibaba.

In videos he posted Thursday, Wilson and his wife Ciara are shown visiting Alibaba headquarters, munching on various foods in a local market and mugging for the camera.

“China! It’s been real and amazing. Thanks Alibaba! Can’t wait to do some groundbreaking things,” he tweeted.
