Maybe the ten people who will be watching can explain it.

Tonight’s game is part of the NFL’s larger effort to attract Hispanic fans. NFL viewership among Hispanics has increased 28 percent in the past five years alone, according to Nielsen. There are four Mexican channels airing NFL games on a weekly basis.

Seems clear to me.

Pretty good game, as it happens. I just hope they don't drink the water.

Mexicans watching the teams America won’t???

[RonnG]

Will it be OK to sit down during the Mexican national anthem?

[Gene Eric]

Because the NFL no longer has an American audience.

[Ouderkirk]

NFL...who’s watching that anymore.

I haven’t watched the NFL in 16 years. Add to that NASCAR, MLB, NBA, MLS, or any other sports programming including the Olympics.

I’m done with it all.

Why Is Monday Night Football in Mexico City?

So the NFL has an international market for it's branded merchandise, of course.

[Gay State Conservative]

Now I can ignore it in Spanish.

This Mexico City game is just another part of Roger Goodell’s effort to turn the National Football League into the International Football League. Goodell is doing his best to destroy the NFL and he is well on his way to doing so.

Maybe they’ll find a way to insult Mexico’s and the UK’s flags and juice their ratings in those markets too.

The NFL is losing American viewers so they have to get their money somewhere.

I for one don’t miss it.

[Timpanagos1]

You can sell lots of Raider gear in Mexico City.

[Bullish]

Why don’t they just take it to north Korea and get it over with?

Fools!

[Roger Kaputnik]

Because the NFL is losing viewers and they need to expand into a new market.

[Degaston]

USA professional sports are a big deal to the markets in Mexico. When I was down in Mexico on 2 trips the past 80 days in Monterrey and then Mexico City they would show highlights in their news broadcasts of the MLB, NFL, and talk ad nauseum about the teams here.

Another thing I saw a lot was the incredible growth of factories and manufacturing. People who say that manufacturing is dead in North America ought to go visit Mexico and see for themselves. They have been creating lots of jobs in new factories there. Since the wages suck the people have to work long hours and they mostly live in slums that would have the Humane Society after you here in the USA if you forced your dogs/cats to live there. But NAFTA has really been good for some people and the oligarchs there like Carlos Slim, one of the principal stakeholders of the New York Times.

[MotorCityBuck]

Outsourcing The NFL. I can get behind that.
MAGA

[Will88]

Because some of the powers that be in the NFL think they can expand the NFL into several foreign countries. Same reason they’ve been having games in London for several years.

[Labyrinthos]

For the same reason a dog licks its balls.

Latin street gangs like the black Raiders gear.

And the Tango Blast gang out of Houston (called Houstone) wears the star from Astros and Texans gear.

Good going NFL.
