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?

Oh, good. Yet another reason for me to boycott the NFL.

And so on Sundays, if weather permits, I go walking. And if the weather is poor, it’s time for a Charlie Chan movie. I’ve got them all, remastered. Good stuff.

I think one of the reasons the NFL plays games in London is so they can televise a game on Sunday morning in the US. More TV revenue. They've been playing London games every year for maybe 10-15 years. Really sucks as far as I'm concerned.

Tagliabue or Rozelle would have put an end to this crap.

Political virtue signaling has severely damaged the NFL…haven’t they had enough of that?

Blame Colin Kaepernick and the NFL’s cowardice - the NFL allowed and enabled Kaepernick to turn NFL sidelines into forums for left-wing political advocacy, and during 2020 they turned NFL fields into advertisements for BLM. Screw the NFL and Roger Goodell.

He is Lebanese. I like him as a coach. I wish he wouldn’t be wearing this, he was born in Michigan, but his parents are form Lebanon. He’s not even the first Jets head coach who was Lebanese. Rich Kotite was. And the Eagles and Bears had head coaches who were Lebanese.

Question is does he support a Lebanon free from Hezbollah or supports a Lebanon that harbors the murderous terrorists?

For those of a certain age, the Jets will always be just another expansion team.

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.

When I was a child in Peoria, IL, there were many Catholic Lebanese families. Most of them were just 2nd generation; their parents came to the USA from Lebanon.
