Just don't claim that it's about the growth of the game.

Minimum of 12 hour flight each way. The NFL will do something stupid like have a team play Sunday in UAE and then in California for Thursday.

I’m surprised they haven’t played a game in Saudi Arabia considering how money hungry the NFL is.

Sure you price out your fans to go to a place that has a horrible human rights track record across the globe for a trip that the players and coaches will also hate and be a complete inconvenience to the entire league

But where else can you court that many unscrupulous billionaires who are drooling at the thought of one day selling your business for scraps one day down the road after they get bored with it

The NFLPA should stand up to this.

But they wont.

Cuz $$$. And theyre a bunch of slaves/whores.

They’ll be caving on the 18 game season soon too.

The NBA has China and now the NFL will have the UAE. But they will both come home and preach to us.

Are they going to put “Love is Love” in the endzone?

The NFL is so disgusting in its greed it’s unbelievable but everyone will still watch “Sunday used to belong to the Church, now it’s theirs”
