I don't disagree, but that was the justification for giving up the home game..

It was in some people's minds because Goodell did say something to that effect. He never guaranteed it though. If that's the reason Clark agreed to it then he's as dumb as some of the people on this board.

Because it allows Clark to push his franchise and the NFL brand on people that largely don't and probably won't care about football.

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

Clark agreed to it for the same reason every other owner does, money. Goodell isn't acting in a vacuum here, he just takes all the PR hits for the owners. That's basically his job. The owners want to get teams in LA and London and watch the cash roll in.

I can't see a team in London being anything other than a logistical disaster that does nothing but piss off the American fans.

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.

There is no point, its an attempted money grab that wont pan out like they hope it will... football was, and will remain, about as popular over there as soccer is here.

They're not going to make football some juggernaut over there no matter how hard they wish it to be so.

Heh, I'm pretty sure the price of everything got jacked up this season, including parking. Got to make up for the lost revenue of an empty Arrowhead somehow!

Yet another reason I'm ok with not being a STH right now. My list of demands keeps growing of they want me to return to being a STH...

1) Consistently win the AFC West (or at the very least be in the running through the season)

2) Consistently be a team capable of winning in the playoffs

3) Draft a QB that has a legitimate chance of being the face of the franchise

4) Stop playing games in foreign countries

I don't think football will ever be a juggernaut over there, but they can still make money. Same way hockey is huge in Canada, but they still have teams in Nashville, San Jose, etc. Even being the 4th or 5th popular sport in London would get them a lot of exposure.
