The owners have decided the money is overseas!
So “f” the USA customer, he’ll sit, drink his beer, buy merchandise and watch no matter how much we insult him.

In the entertainment business it’s always about the money, and little else.

You’re right. Perhaps more September games should be played in the southern hemisphere where the weather is more spring-like. The billion dollar stadiums here would lose out. Japan has plenty of money. They could start the below equator games a week before Labor day. It’s not their holiday. West coast teams should all play a game in Hawaii. If it’s all about money they should do it.

So a city is threatened to have its football team leave unless it builds a 2 billion dollar stadium that will usually have 8-9 meaningful games a year, only to lose one of these to London or Rio De Janero.

They plan to take it off free TV and make in all a pay to watch.
