that actually makes sense when Australia is known for sending specialists over to play college football
some of the other ones make no sense

I would put a game in samoa or somewhere where you can attract that talent to your league

Literally everything the nfl does lately is fricking terrible.


Can anyone give me an example of a change that’s been made under goodell that has been applauded by the fans here??

That makes it make less sense to me.
Australia already has a very popular football-like sport unlike England
Football to an Englander is an unusual foreign spectacle
Football to an Australian is a crappier version of what they already have

Every team in the league should partner with an international city and play one game a year in that city. Plus they could travel one additional game to fulfill another teams obligation. They could add the 18th game and that would make it back to a normal split (8 home, 8 away, 2 international). Take preseason down to 2 games and we are right where we should be..

Saints fans will be mad when New York Giants get paired with Paris and they're stuck with Sarajevo

Guessing the NFL is going to decide to go heads up against Saturday night college football for this then.

An 11:00 AM kickoff on Sunday in Australia would be 9:00 PM on Saturday for the US eastern time zone.

Saints are already paired with Paris. The Saints are the only team with International marketing rights in France.

Until the forward pass was made legal, American football was basically rugby. Which is extremely popular in all of Britain.

Bringing the game to an international audience is somehow bad for the NFL?

Some of y’all really are entirely self-centered and if something doesn’t directly benefit you or cater to you personally you find it abhorrent. Very Boomer/Gen Z behavior.

Saints should play one game in Orleans, just because. Call it the Joan of Arc Bowl.

The NRL opened their season in Vegas. It's very simple.
