Do we want the NFL to go international?

Kylo Ren · 08-06-2005, 06:25 PM

I'm watching the preseason ATL v. INDY game from Tokyo. It appears that the entire stadium is full. I'm quite surprised. What does that say about the popularity of the NFL overseas? Supposedly, the NFL is interested in expanding the league to other nations. Do we really want a team in Mexico City or Toronto or other nations? Now, if the NFL is just trying to market to other nations, that's fine with me as long as it doesn't significantly change the game itself.

32 teams are enough. The league is perfect the way it is. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Wouldn't it have to be the IFL then?

FloridaMan88 · 08-06-2005, 08:27 PM

NO

If the NFL ever became like the NBA where half the draft is made up of international players no one has heard of it would be no good.

Hell yes. I can see it now...A world championship for the Chiefs.

Only it they could add additional teams in such a way that I wouldn't have to reprogram my playoff prediction software.

I think we should be greedy with the NFL. It is by far the most entertaining and fervently followed of our major sports. If we add more teams, and spread it out too much, it will lose a lot IMO.

I just want to know why I can't buy a burrito for 7.50 at the concessions stand.

Baghdad. TC in Sweden or Norway, though.

Over the past summer i went to Acupulco, MX. and the only thing that would make the trip any better would be if the Ol' chiefs game was on the tv (by the way i'm past the limit)
