There has been at least one European player in the NFL, remember Leif Larsen? 

The Vikings drafted a German WR a few years ago … straight outta Germany …

There was an Estonian shot putter, Margus Hunt, who played for nine seasons in the NFL just a couple of years ago. Also several kickers. 
 

The biggest turn-off for people who are not used to football is that that the play is blown dead constantly. They play for a few seconds, then nothing for half a minute, then a few seconds of play again. It takes time getting used to that. Also, learning the rules takes quite a while. All the commercial breaks don’t help either.

With the ease of travel (8 hours on a private jet where they can eat or sleep) it’s not that big of a deal anymore IMO. There will be difficulties, like getting players to actually want to sign with those teams. But if they have some inter-division games over there where they don’t have to travel to the states, I can see it working. 

If it's 1st class, then yes. I often fly across the Pacific in passenger class. I'm 6'4" and275 lb. By the time the plane lands in Korea or Japan, I can't wait to get out of there. I'm guessing these guys will be travelling in style. I heard 1 team even had a chef onboard for flights. I don't know if that's true though.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
