I dont understand why there would be an NFL team in Paris?

There has never been any football played there ever, to my knowledge.

And Spain? They did have a WLAF team there, but I dont think it went over well.

YES to England and Germany. You meet loads of NFL fans on message boards from those 2. They love American football over there (not everyone, but those 2 countries are huge, plus so many Americans live and work over there too). I could see NFL teams in England and Germany being successful.

I would put multiple teams in England and in Germany and be done with it. Plus Spain's economy sucks so IDK if they can support a novelty team and well the income tax for players of a Paris team would be over 75% and France's economy sucks arse.

Just examples of cities that COULD be potential hosts for franchises. London is the only one that would be an absolute must. I think the London Jaguars has a certain ring to it.

Yea, would be jumping the gun right now.

Still, it is a city of 12 million people and a cultural hub of the world. I could see expansion to Paris
