dpberr Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 Whenever one of the teams in the Madden games would move to Mexico City, the team was terrible, the AI was always outbid for free agents and the team was flat broke. So perhaps I've been wrong about Madden. Perhaps it does indeed foretell the future. I'm sure NFL players would love to play for the Mexico City franchise. It's a fresh air gym - escaping and evading kidnapping, food poisoning and a drug war keeps you certainly in shape.
WotAGuy Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 Once Trump builds the wall on January 20, 2017, will NFL teams be able to get over it to play future games in Mexico? We might need a crane to get Dareus over it, with his bad groin and all.

vincec Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 And when we deport their criminals back to them. And when we build a giant wall on the border and make them pay for it.
billsintaiwan Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 Never happen they want to GROW the game. So this year Mexico. Soon Germany, Canada (again), China NFL will turn this game into an International game, and they would be stupid not too. What is their world wide ratings during the Super Bowl? Shows the international demand is there. They risk giving their boring, commercial-laden, us flag-ridden, 9 minutes of action, garbage product too much exposure. Rugby and Aussie rules much more fun to watch. Bills the only thing keeping me here.
justnzane Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 If the NFL wants foreign exposure, the right thing to do was keep NFL Europe going as a feeder, and allow the locals to learn the game. This loss leader would do much more for the future of the game than parading the ****ty Jaguars in Wembley or Tottenham every year.
Marv's Neighbor Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 NFL Europe was a failure. The world economy is no better now. Now way these games will EVER be profitable. Makes a such sense as the airlines flying to Cuba. They're flying to a country that has no businesses, no industry, the people have no money, and even if they did they lack permission to leave. The service makes headlines but no profits. Neither make any business sense at all!
KD in CA Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 If the NFL wants foreign exposure, the right thing to do was keep NFL Europe going as a feeder, and allow the locals to learn the game. This loss leader would do much more for the future of the game than parading the ****ty Jaguars in Wembley or Tottenham every year. NFL Europe was still the minors. The path to foreign exposure is to have foreign based NFL teams; hence the London experiment -- where they draw double the crowd as in Jacksonville. I think there's a real chance they move to London in the next five years. In the same way, the NFL would have been happy to have the Bills in Toronto if they had found a deep pocket buyer with that plan.

Force what on the fans? Mexican room service? These are the same precautions many Americans take when traveling to Mexico. Should it be different for NFL players? Oh, this is just another bash the NFL thread. Sweet...

The NFL doesn't need you or anyone sticking up for them. The NFL is the bully. I like the NFL, love it in fact. I also love capitalism. So i think they should get all they can while they can.

In the same way, the NFL would have been happy to have the Bills in Toronto if they had found a deep pocket buyer with that plan. There is no functional plan to move to London as the novelty will wear off of as they realize how horrible the Jags and this will be hidden by Tottenham's stadium being only 62,000 seats once it moves there. You can't expect the owners to want to travel to London for regular season games, especially if they are in the same division. Playoffs would not be a logistical nightmare as well By giving Europe a minor league with mid-major college-like attendance, you can grow the game across Europe and place value on building on youth leagues over there to globalize the game. This would be more efficient long-term than the money grab of London. The Toronto experiment is not the best comparison given the proximity of Toronto to the continental 48.

Kind of like people who say a thread makes zero sense but take time to reply and be part of it. What will not last exactly? The NFL? Its success? Both?
