Can someone explain to me why an NFL game is in London? Who cares about American football there? When did these felons start playing in London?
They are trying to expand their international market. They started having regular season games there in 2007. It was one a year until 2013, when they had two. They had three in 2014 and have had at least that many every year since except 2020 (0) and 2021 (2).
They have also had games in Mexico City (2016,2017, 2019, and 2022), Germany (2022-2024), and Brazil (2024)
They usually sell or come close to it. NFL revenues are so TV-heavy that close is probably good enough. Adding another TV slot for the games in Europe probably more than makes up for any loss.

the NFL London Games in the United Kingdom, which have been in place since 2007
It’s been going on for a number of years.

The NFL has been playing in London for over a decade, the main reason they play multiple games in London is the games are huge money makers for the league, the games sellout and have huge TV ratings plus it opens up a European market for NFL TV viewership
The NFL also plays games in Germany and this year played one in Brazil, in the past they’ve also played games in Mexico
Actually- explain why the NFL has coaches where sweatshirts with flags of all these nations. Saleh is an awful coach, but all the coaches wear sweatshirts with flags of every nation but the US- from what i see
