NFL expected to push for 4 team Euro Division?

[Shannon1]

I wish they would realign the Division s and don’t give me tradition! Need a change of playing same teams for years plus we are out of our area! How we play in the east being south is crazy

It would fail. NFL Europe failed. And that were flights within Europe.

Maybe in 25 years. When airlines are using scram jets to make overseas flight in a few hours on a regular basis. But not anytime soon. Too much travel time involved.

Why do you think they only have FIFA World Cup soccer every 4 years, as well, the Olympics also. Nor any other global sports leagues on a year to year basis. None that I know of anyway.

Looks like Uncle Roger is about out of ways to make the greedy billionaires even more money.

No problem ruining the league along the way if necessary. It’s a slap in the face to fans that this is even out there.

I understand that they want the people they don’t have and take the ones they know they do have for granted, but this is over the top.

definitely on the Jazz, man
and absolutely right
this is so far beyond stupid but then the NFL has shown an ability to be really stupid

The travel problems alone will be massive

AND GUESS WHAT?

You want to talk about taxes here...

Guess how high the taxes are in Europe

post of the day?

Hell no.

The longest flight right now is for the Brazil game. Didn’t hurt the Eagles any. I believe the NFL is playing a game in Australia next season. For what players are paid asking them to fly a 20 hour charter is not unreasonable. And since it’s bargained, if the players don’t like it they need only vote against doing it.

Those are one game flights.
Not 8 or 9 games and teams flying every week. Changing time zones of 8 hours or more.

Or slush hydrogen utilizing a "20:1 thrust/weight ratio".

 

[DCwarrior]

Horrible idea.

 

[Spottswoode]

They are going to have some crappy prospects for their local player visits.

As a jungle/drum & bass DJ, which started in London, the UK will always have a special place in my heart. I got to go to London in 2002, and bought some vinyl at a shop where the two guys helping me were big time DJ's I idolized. If they indeed expand, the London team has to be called "The London Rude Boys." Buck! Buck!

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

The poor NFL fans.

The few need to get richer...at the expense of the game WE made what it is today

 

[Creeper]

I hate the idea. It's bad enough they play any game over there.

But the London Rippers, Berlin Blitz, Roma Tomatoes, and French Poodles would all be better names than the Washington Commanders.

 

[Flamma]

They would have too many long flight times. If the Concorde was still around, they could probably pull it off. Someone, I forget who, is currently working on a new supersonic jet that is supposed to be quiet enough to fly over land. But that's years away.

 

[TwoDeep3]

Didn't the NBA travel this exact path and watered down the product with three pointers and no defense and is now losing audience share?

 

[RonWashington]

Hopefully most are in the British isles. Dublin, Edinburgh, Londonx2

Would suck royally if you grew up in Oklahoma, played your 4 years at Texas Tech and then the NFL tells you you’re moving to Germany.

Or Philadelphia

 

[tunahelper]

Hmm, there are barely enough decent QB's already. But having a Guiness at the game instead of some of the swill served in stadiums here might be nice.

Really dumb idea.

There’s not enough QB’s now. And expansion hurts all the teams. When we last did expansion I thought it was a mess and 4 new teams would be even worse

Tradition is important

There is no way Jerry Jones would ever agree to leave a division with three NFL “blue blood” franchises. You can bet Tepper would love to trade places with Dallas and get his Panthers in the NFC East.
