Well, CHunt said that he didn't want to lose another home game, so maybe really could care less and be like, "**** em all, I don't care I'm counting my money."??

So yeah...neg rep for vagueness in wording.

The title is completely false. Clark didn't say that or anything like that. He made some throwaway statement that he thought the London games were a good idea and he's glad they participated.

In fact, the Teicher piece specifically says they are NOT likely to play a home game there again anytime soon.

But for some reason there are a few yokels who are unhinged that the Chiefs might suck their way through 7 dates at Arrowhead instead of 8 every couple of years. Why, who can guess? But some people are ready to launch a rebellion over the team playing 1 London game in what, 4-5 years of the international series.

I think the point is why does Clark have to be so eager to do something that puts the Chiefs at a competitive disadvantage... i.e. give up a home game at Arrowhead?

What, you think they woulda curbstomped the Detoilet Lions 55-3 inside Arrowhead??

Maybe. But how much of an edge do you need to obliterate the Lions??

If anything, it seemingly made the team sharper, knowing that they didn't have that Arrowhead energy to draw from...

Well yes, but when a city builds a stadium, they are doing it only with the guarantee that the team remains in the city for X years. There is no guarantee of 8 games a year played in that stadium.

If you don't like it, fine. Don't build/renovate your stadium, and lose your team to a city that will.

Even if they have no intention of placing a team there anytime soon, it still makes a lot of sense to fill whatever demand there is overseas for live meaningful NFL games. If they can build fans overseas, then they can sell their games to local TV, sell online subscriptions and apparel, making more money, etc.

Hey, think of the marketing campaign.. they could really make a show of it, with events onsite, shirts -- "Every game is a playoff game, be a part of the action now."

People just need start putting their wallet where their mouth is and quit spending money.

actually all the fans of each club needs to.

quit going to games and buying gear. Cities also need to tell them to get bent when they want new stadiums.

especially when you have franchises like the chiefs. An owner who likes money over championships.


personally i would love to see a new league take them on. Start out with 8 to 10 teams and a minor league system.
