...and watch claims for a 39th Premier League game to grow and grow again.
Maybe SISU are playing the long game, and looking to move to Shanghai.
I dont agree I think it would take off,not that I'd watch it went to the first NFL game at Wembley years ago never been so bored. But never underestimate the proffessionalism of the NFL.
I didn't try to censor you, I just addressed your point about empty stadiums. Hand-egg though, that's gold.

I have a lot of doubts over the logistics of it (you can arrange international travel months in advance when you know the schedule, but if the London Beefeaters reach the playoffs that's incredibly short notice) and whether it actually should even be a consideration as I've never liked the whole franchising thing, but popularity of the sport itself here is near enough the only thing I'm sure of.
If they increase the number of the international games here I have no doubt the tickets would be snapped up at the same rate, but if you're presenting a brand new team or nabbing someone else's, I'm not sure about the success of that as most UK fans surely already have a team.

Otis I have to say I know there is a bit of franchising in the states.
But say Miami dolphins move to London will there not be more than the 7000 wasps fans who you defended. In America who will be completely shafted?
Completely different kettle of fish to here.
Agree, but as I said on a thread a few weeks back, you look at the NFL in 1920, then say 1925, then 1930 then every 10 years or so.
It changes so much and so many times with teams merging, moving and rebranding constantly. Not saying it's right, just saying it is very much the norm there and always has been.

...until it comes here.
It's been a while since an American has come in me, at least a week. Probably.
What should happen and what would be entirely fine, is for any new NFL team over here to be just that, a new team. Not the Jacksonville Jaguars becoming the London Jaguars, but a new team.
Cannot see anything wrong with that. The addition of a team, rather than the displacement of a team and we would all surely be happy with that.
I'd rather they expand the league than take a team from anyone else, definitely. Have a proper expansion year to also get a team back in Los Angeles, maybe even Toronto if they judge those Bills games as a success.
I'm sorry....what?
American football is one of the most god-awful games known to man. Its up there with cricket. Boring as hell
For me, it is the most exciting sport known to mankind. So many thrilling games that go right down to the wire.
Today's Wembley game for instance was won with just 4 seconds left.
10 times more exciting than football for me.
Too many breaks in play for me.
Fair enough. Can't understand anyone who likes cricket and rugby union though who doesn't like the NFL. Many, many more breaks in play in cricket and a much, much longer game and also very long breaks in play in rugby union too.
Last week though, there were 6 games on in the NFL and 4 of them were won with the very last play of the game.
Different strokes for different folks.For me, it is the most exciting sport known to mankind. So many thrilling games that go right down to the wire.

It was a self-deprocating quip, made on: what the poster I quoted had said, and my username.
I bet if Rob Brydon had made that quip, everyone would be sniggering their chuddies off. *sigh*
Indeed.
Used to love football so much more, but it has all gone too cynical for me these days. Killing time by the corner flag, time wasting, shirt pulling, feigning injury and us only getting about 4 or 5 exciting games a season.
Might be different if I say supported Liverpool I guess.
You mean "Rounders", surely and yes it is God awful. Once went to a game in the States, fell asleep. They even have to play music at any break (and there are quite a few) to keep the customers awake!

Really? I was in Atlanta funnily enough in May (ish) and went to see the Braves at home to Chicago Cubs. Absolutely loved it. Yeah, they drag it out but I thought as entertainment, it was bloody brilliant. Loved heading into the concourse, getting a large dish of tortillas with American Fat Food on top and a pitcher of Millers. Despite the sh*t beer, I'd have no problems with going to watch another game. Each to their own though fella. Went past the Chigago Cubs ground recently on our Route 66 holiday......what a stadium!!!!1
