The NFL wants to rival The Premier League and The Champions League for global audience.

That’s the globalization of sports at work. F___ the locals for the global audience.

Go and talk to any local fan of a European soccer team they will tell you the same thing. The clubs cater now to tourist fans, who can pay a couple hundred dollars for a game ticket, and screw the locals.

I sort of feel the same vibe with college sports now that they can all pack up any old time they want, go to where there’s more money. It’s not really about loyalty or traditions. It’s all money, just like the pros, and I don’t like it.
