NFL in London

I don't mind a game or two a season over there, or maybe even having a team. But no Superbowl. City's make so much money off that weekend with hotel rates, etc it shouldn't be taken from America.

 

Totally agree with CaseyTrain on this.

Let them take a lousy team (like they do) like Tampa (who BTW can't sell any tickets) or Jacksonville and send them across the pond.

But the Super Bowl is sacred, if it leaves American soil that would be wrong to do IMO.

 

To be fair if we have teams in Canada and London and think they have every right to put their hat in the ring for a Superbowl hosting. I'm all for a global acknowledgement of how awesome Football is.

 

Then you could really say "World Champions" and mean it.

We're probably only 3 or 4 years away from Goodell really pushing this. He's been trying.

 

I like it. It gives the Vikings and Steelers a chance to try out new footwear and the option of shorts or chinos.

 

We can't have a team over there. It wouldn't be fair to the players.

Imagine the jet-lag they'd have flying back and forth- and same to the teams going out there.

 

Yea, if a team is added in London... that's where the downfall of the NFL begins. Well, it's already begun, but it will be in full force at that point.

 

Like others have said, we need the revenue in our cities or compensation somehow. And DW's great point of jet lag, we already suffer enough going to the west coast as is... We need to figure out what the dolts did this weekend though.
