The problem is they would compete with Premier League games on Sundays.

Why not move the entire NFL to Europe? The Washington "Commanders" could become the Transylvania Trannys.

The NFL is dead to me.

Well at least the kickers won't be foreigners anymore.

I think there's a market for one franchise in London. Not sure if the NFL can get more than that. Easy solution? Move the Commanders to London and rename the team "Redcoats".

Move the Patriots, so they will just be The England Patriots.

Premier league is growing, NFL, not so much. I’ve tried watching some NFL this season..not compelling. Arsenal and Man City? Freaking amazing.

The NFL is trash. Unwatchable drek. At one time I lived and breathed it.

The problem is that there isn’t enough talent for the current 32 teams. Dilute it even further and it won’t even be a step up from the USFL or college.

Time to change the rules. Instead of four downs, why not three downs. Ban screen passes to running backs. Things like that to help the defense.

Football is a tribal exercise. Fans are the tribes.

Pro Sports Management consists of bean pushers. They don’t care about fans, who are just exercising their most primal instincts.

By the way. Full disclosure. I love SEC football.

NFL just planning for the great Reset. What’s the point of a one world government without a WFL?

I was a huge Cowboys fan...not any more.

Got so sick and tired of the hood rats antics and misbehavior. That was well before the whole Black lives matter and kneeling during the national anthem.

That was just icing on the quit the NFL cake.

Don’t miss it a bit. Well, maybe a lil. lol

And a 110 yard field, and 1 point for a touchback.

32 is the correct number of teams.
16 was the correct number of games.
6 was the correct number of playoff teams per conference.

They have already messed up the scheduling with the 17th game, and the playoffs with THREE Wildcards, and a good chance that the best team doesn’t get the single Bye (Tennessee last year).

There aren’t even 30 good kickers right now, much less 36.
Think how bad QBs 33-36 will be . . . BEFORE injuries.

If they want a team in London, someone has to fold or move (Jacksonville?).

It is already comical to have a bunch of French Canadians and Russkies playing on the Tampa Bay Lightning NHL franchise. How silly would it be to have the London team peopled with folks who don’t even have Europe in much of their ancestry, much less England?

Damn. Now USAA will offer insurance to Europeans and my rates will go up again for all the advertising.
