GunnerBill Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I guess the games in London aren't bringing the international fanfare Goodell thought it would? Or maybe teams like the Patriots and Steelers need to start playing games over there? They are having a big effect in the UK.... in London and the south east. Whenever I move jobs in London there are NFL fans in the new office. When I go "home" in northern England it is still seen as very niche. London and the South East of England is very different to the rest of the UK. Viewing figures for NFL in the UK are up but I suspect it is massively skewed geographically. Blokes lives nearer where I am from and he was saying there is 1 bar in Manchester he knows show games. I know half a dozen that show the Sunday games within 5 miles of me in London.

Yeah it is having an impact I think. Doesn't Sky broadcast NFL games everyweek with their own panel of analysts similar to what networks here do with Premier League?

Yea but they were doing that way before the International Series games, though viewing figures are up considerably in the last 5 or 6 years.

GunnerBill Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Going to any championship trophy games? Nah. I am a Test match snob. Ain't been to an international 1 day game in about 7 or 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I wonder if Brady's helped internationally by being married to Giselle. when a man marries a horse it makes headlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I don't really understand the sentiment that soccer isn't a sport but ok lol. if you can successfully wear a man bun whilst "playing" it.... than it's not a sport. soccer = terrible. So basically, he doesn't like it so it is not a sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 (Tom Brady #21, despite how I hate to point that out.) And he probably cheated to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 NFL markets its league MLB markets its teams NBA markets its stars. So does soccer, tennis and golf. The most well known football player retired over a year ago. NHL is not on anyone's radar. I bet >90% of Americans couldn't name a single current NHL player.
