Alignment of the NFL

There won't be 33 teams. More than likely, an existing team will move to L.A. The City of Angels will more than likely enjoy having the Saints as their home team.

I think it will be years until the rest of the world caught up to the US in talent in [American] football. That is if they start playing it.

And when I say years, I mean if and when they start playing it... and I mean when you see fathers and sons throwing the ball around in the yard instead of kicking it.... then add another generation or two.

Hockey, basketball, and baseball have been worldwide games for years. Hockey migrated into the US. Baseball started here, and was here for 150+ years before international players started being major contributors. Basketball started here and it was about 80 years before it was worldwide enough to commonly see international players in the league.

The NFL isn't going to see a lot of international players coming into the league overnight.

I wasn't saying it would happen over nite but obviously it needs to be started at some point doesnt it. Unless you dont forsee the NFL future being long than yeah I would say dont worry about it, but players can start playing in an arena type game to at least get the jist of football. Players can be taught this game look at the USA vs JAPAN game this year.

What would happen to the fan base if Jerry moved the Cowboys to LA?

I personally would be ecstatic.

You thought the Cowboy fan base hated him after firing Landry he would get strung up in Texas, I would be willing to bet the real Texas Rangers would have roadblocks up coming out of Dallas.
