PromoTheRobot Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 There's no question where "American" football has caught on in Europe. With the Scottish Claymores moving to Hamburg, NFL Europe now has 5 franchises in Germany. (Hamburg Sea Devils, Berlin Thunder, Cologne Centurions, Rhein {Dusseldorf} Fire, and Frankfurt Galaxy) Only the Amsterdam Admirals are the exception. Obviously the Germans "get it." While I never expected it to catch on in Barcelona, or Moscow, or Paris, I am shocked that the teams in London and Glasgow failed. What does that say about the rest of the candy-ass Europeans? PTR

It means they like their version of football better then american football. I think also the NFL had some say in consolidating the league mostly into germany to save on travel cost.
stevestojan Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 I am personally shocked that France doesn't have a powerhouse team.
bartshan-83 Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 What does that say about the rest of the candy-ass Europeans? 220379[/snapback] Thats funny...thats probably what they are saying about us when they decide to take in a NFL-E game over a Rugby match. "What the fook are all these fookin pads and helmets for??" But I do agree in principle that more people should enjoy American Football.
