I have a question for my UK bros.
« on: October 26, 2013, 12:20:16 PM »
How would you feel about having an NFL team in London? Commissioner Roger goodell would like to have a permanent team in England.

My opinion: This dude is only out for the cash. He does not give a shit about the logistics of having an NFL franchise in London. The team would never be competitive with all of the jet lag.

Is Goodell overestimating England's desire for an NFL team?

i don't see any appetite for it over here at all

there was a phase in the late 80's when teams sprung up as it was televised on channel 4

but they tried it with the London Monarchs and it bombed


plus its basically rugby for puffs who have to wear padding isn't it?

As an American, it is always funny to watch the NFL games in London. People wear jerseys of any team that is playing. Half of them probably have no clue what is going on.

Yes, but they obviously do not hit hard enough  ;) Real men wear armour. Ask any white night on the internet.

the yanks base all their sports around advertising

there isn't enough action

how anyone could sit through a baseball game without setting fire to themselves is beyond me

i went to see the wizards when i was in the states and even in basketball there are too many breaks

Baseball is for the beta males of the US. They have to get their sporting on too just like you soccer fans.

Just what i was going to say, was laughing at this so much i forgot to add my thoughts ha ha. The few games that we host are sell outs - 80,000 crowds because its a novelty event. If London gets a franchise i think in the long term it will fail, people tend to have a short attention span and American Football is not what i would call a sound business venture for the UK.

Im calling bullshit on the baseball comment. Sure it is boring to watch sometimes, but it is no different than Cricket, which is huge everywhere but the U.S.
