The NFL will be 3rd fiddle to soccer and basketball in Europe at best. Its a niche' sport in Europe. No tradition or youth participation. Its basically an appeal to ex-pats.
You need to come to London on the weekend of a game, and now Germany…. Because you couldn’t be more wrong.
He's not wrong, but neither are you. The ratings keep going up because Goodell is always focused on bringing the casual fans to the TV. The league knows, we diehards will find a way to watch the games if they are broadcasts at 10am on a Wednesday, we are a captive audience, who the league takes for granted. They spend zero seconds trying to make our viewership a better experience. The draft for instance, no fans want it on Thursday night, but the casual fan will tune in and check it out. So in essence it is watered down to accommodate the casuals and we just have to deal with whatever they give us.
I’d be ok with that. At least we’d have the better quarterback that dayPatriots then?
I love how people say this. NHL fans say it all the time too.
yup, but viewership internationally is growing and with more eyeballs comes the potential for more revenue. I don't see this contracting at any point and as long as they see more viewship and more opportunites its going to keep expanding...they care about money, not about the base unfortunatly...the only way the base can effect the situation is if they start watching less of the product and the NFL sees a need to change the approach.
Why forbid it, since you are the ruler you can kick planets around as if soccer balls.
Oh how nice to start at home and finish the last two at home. You can’t tell me there is no bias in this lol
I have to wonder what people in london who become jaguars fans and then come to america to see them think.
