Traveling for games in division would be easy. It is an interesting idea I wonder what they would want to do stadium wise. Wembley is easy for London. I don't know if clubs like Bayern Munich or PSG in France are interested in sharing their stadiums full time...that is different than a one off game and they share seasons with the NFL. Olympiastadion in Berlin is pretty damn old. Imagining an NFL team trying to make Camp Nou home in Barcelona. ROFL

Those whole countries could adopt those teams as their own not just the city. I think too much is being made about players wanting to go. Players would get over and settle in just fine. If players can enjoy Buffalo and Cincy then they can enjoy some of the greatest cities in the world. They will make the money work.
accurate.

They are banking on the massive popularity of the NFL cannot be harmed, no matter what they change.
Goodell is so desperate to leave a legacy, that legacy is going to end up being damaging the NFL and it's brand.

The NFLPA needs to become stronger, so they can control things like extra Thursday games and playing overseas, and expansion. Or at least have more control than they have now.

This is ridiculous.

You don’t see any of the major soccer leagues in Europe (which is their equivalent to the NFL in America in terms of popularity) expanding with teams in the US.

Of course you don't. EPL teams have 38 match days and player each other each home and away that is not even counting domestic competition cups.

They also have an entire relegation\promotion pyramid.

Even if you put that aside it is easier to establish yourself in Europe than the other way around. United States while filled with sports fans has infinitely more sports, teams, and leagues dividing that attention compared to countries in Europe.

Nothing about your comparison makes sense.

Wait, what? Is there actually a push to have twice as many teams? That seems ridiculously over-optimistic.

The same type of logistical/competitive balance reasons you list for why European soccer should not expand to America also applies to the NFL expanding to Europe.

A logistical nightmare and would impact competitive balance.

That is how I see it.

If roger goodell could make money by squeezing turds with his hands for 24 hours straight he’d do it until his hands bled.

**** this idea. **** the owners. Any idea that is about turning more money at a significant cost to the integrity of the game is a shit idea. And any nfl owners who loves the game instead of loves the money of the game would know instantly how dumb the idea of European expansion is

Can’t wait for a London at Seattle game to get flexed to Thursday Night Football.

As I’ve said before… If you want to grow the game internationally then borrow a page from other leagues books.

The world baseball classic gets this international bullshit out of the way before the season starts. And it’s hella fun to watch.

Soccer uses international friendlies. Why not just send some of our B teams to play against germanys best? Put the pro bowl in Europe and include friendlies between B teams and an all Europe team. A million and a half ways that don’t involve the ridiculous idea of stripping away home games and forcing a bunch of jet lagged athletes to play halfway across the world
