Actually body88, European football teams were sponsored, advised and supported by the NFL. It was not a money making effort for the teams or the NFL it's self. Main reason the NFL withdrew from it. A few players from the European teams have played in the NFL over here. Most of those crowd numbers (sellouts) are mocked up to look good.
Atheist: Would not be too concerned with Pumpster, he always seems to have a weak view on most things, but always wants to come across as the expert. And when proven wrong, will resort to name calling and other petty things. He does act like a 5 year old at time. And yes, he is very desperate to be noticed and feel superior to others.
Pumpster is the reason so many good people no longer post on the Training board. Since he became a mod (or God in his own mind) over there he will delete, or change, peoples post if they give a opposite view than his. He is quite fond of using the overworked term "meltdown" on others. Also big on others spelling, yet half the time uses a lower case i for personal nouns, among other things. Rumor he may drink a bit. But who knows. He is retired in Phoenix now, I have heard.
