what does a London game and a superbowl in KC have to do with each other again?

When the Chiefs finally make a Superbowl, they will play the game in London.

Did the Chiefs reduce the price of season tickets by one game?

I don't care where they play it as long as I can watch it.

And to reiterate, Oakland/San Diego/KC are at a competitive disadvantage because they are all eligible to lose a home game to London but Denver cannot due to legal language involved in building Incestco Field.

Your family better mount a flatscreen inside your casket.

The London team is a pipe dream logistically. Its a 5-6 hour flight from the east coast and a 10-12 hour flight from the west coast.

You would think if they wanted to grow the game internationally they would focus on say Mexico City and Monterrey. Much closer and the cultural diffusion is much greater.

Hell in that Deadspin article it claims that this game is going to cost the Chiefs money. If playing games over there is a losing proposition now, how is actually having a team over there going to change that? I don't see the TV networks over there paying the kind of money that the American ones do. Where the hell is all this money they think they're going to make going to come from?

Trying to promote the NFL in socialist England and Europe where there is no $$ and soccer rules, as more and more Islamists populate Europe everyday. Makes sense:rolleyes:

I don't see the whole point of the London game every year either. If the NFL game were really taking off like wild fire over there that's one thing, but it's not otherwise we would be hearing about it and to your point about making $$ which we are not so there must be some other angle which I don't see:hmmm:

Was he referring to one being held in kc or is winning one?

It may be. But I really don't think the owners care. At this point they are going to grease that pig for every cent they can get.

I have no evidence to back it up, but I think their long term goal is to put a team there. Then they can start pulling TV money from Europe. Maybe then start playing games in Germany. I think they believe there's no line they can cross where people will suddenly stop watching football. It's that popular. And they may be right.
