Netflix and its international audience the first shot across the bow. The game no longer belongs to America exclusively anymore.

Just in Germany and the UK there are 32 mil NFL fans combined. Any streaming site that has international access would be stupid to not try and get games on their platform. The NFL is exploding in Europe.

It'd catching on in Brasil. Soccer mecca. Still is but they are watching American football too.

The whole hold up with American football was the soccer fans use to the "action" never stopping. They found it boring. They didnt understand there was strategy involved, putting players on the field to best execute that obe play. Now some of their fellow soccer fans are explaining it to them, they are giving American football a second look. It aint hurting that its a passing game these days.

Ironic, since success in soccer appears to rely as much on chance as it does skill or strategy.

When I was traveling around the world(it was decades ago), they just didn't get it and considered it boring. I'd come back with BORING? You ever watch soccer?

Exactly. Continuous play does not equal entertainment.
