Yes, it’s always money first.
On the list of things I don’t like about overseas games is compromising on the field that they play on. I don’t think they would let NFL teams have fields that bad for a full schedule, but I guess it’s good enough for a game or two a year. Von Miller said the game at Tottenham was the worst field he ever played on. I know some other venues have had bad reports as well. If you’re going to do it, do it RIGHT. $$$>Player safety for the NFL.
