NFL Europe was a bust! The uber crazy commissioner likes a reason to go to London. He says it's successful, but most of us would disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Aww how cute. The annual protectionist "Europeans don't understand football so give us our games back" thread.  Forget that we sell the games out, forget that tv audiences are up this side of the pond (can't all say that can we?) Anyway you partly have your wish.... 3 games next year down from 4 in 2017.    Nice that we had the typical "give them NFL Europe back if they must have something." Yea... we didn't much like that cos the product was ****. I'd rather watch the CFL. It's part of the reason soccer still hasn't caught on over there - I've tried to watch MLS games and they are brutal. Ever likely you don't go.  I will go to the game at Tottenham this year because it is less than 2 miles from home and if it is an early game I will be able to get back for the vast majority of the Bills game at home.  Right, you can all go back to your isolationist bliss now. The international series is here to stay.   1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The annual protectionist "Europeans don't understand football so give us our games back" thread.  For me, at least, it's not about protectionism - it's about giving away a home game and forcing teams to travel overseas to play. If it were baseball, with 150+ games in a season, then it's not that big of a deal. But when a team gives up 12.5% of its home games, in a league where one game can make all the difference, it's unfair.  I also hate watching my team play at 10:00AM local time.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
