The National (World) Football League

I don't know if I'll be alone or not in this opinion. I believe in goodwill, being an ambassador, etc....but is anyone else getting sick of all these NFL games being overseas?? The Vikings have two back to back??

I didn't mind a couple here and there, but at this rate half the NFL schedule will be overseas in the future. I mean do home fans of the teams over there want to get up at 5am to watch their teams?

They're thinking about the next expansion. Evan Closky (sports director, WTSP [Tampa Bay]) was just saying on Brodie Brazil's show that Rob Manfred is trying to build to a MLB expansion because he thinks of it as his legacy. I doubt Burn-the-Tapes Goodell is any different.

Presumably two of the four expansion teams would be in Europe, to make the travel easier. Vikings at London, Vikings at Berlin, Vikes come home for a bye week, etc.

I hate it. For 2 reasons.

One, when these billionaires try to get hard earned tax revenue for their personal playpens, they hype how much of an economic impact their billion dollar palaces will bring the community. Then they are going to give away a home game to another city, not even the same frikkin' country, who never shelled one penny, pound, shilling, peso or euro to help the franchise stay in business???!!!????

Two, you don't see the Premier League or Champions League taking meaningful, in-season contests from their fans & giving them to any other location. So why does the NFL take anything besides meaningless, boring, who gives a crap exhibition games from their best customers?

Well, at least when they start adding teams from other countries then calling it a "World Championship" will at least make more sense.

PS. I hate it, too.
