You're not thinking long term. The future of sports (and many businesses in a global market), is expansion overseas. It's basic economics.
It also doesn't take an MBA from Harvard to look at what basketball has done overseas the last 20 years since the 1992 Olympics (or the growth in soccer in the US since the 1994 World Cup) as a blueprint for how to grow a sport in a new market successfully. The owners are about growing the pie, and long term this is by far the best way to do that.

Comparing football in Europe right now to basketball overseas in the early 90s or soccer in the US in the early 90s is utterly ridiculous as far as popularity goes. They aren't even in the same stratosphere.
