Why do they call it NFL Europe when almost all the teams are from Germany?

At least they don't call it the "World League" any more.

There was a team in Scotland (Claymores), London (Monarchs), Spain (IIRC the Dragons).

The games in those countries were always sparsely attended.

Games in Germany draw respectable crowds. As I recall, some German high schools now field football teams.
