Why do large countries like China, Japan, and France each only have only one team but countries like Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, and New Zealand have multiples?


No clue on New Zealand, but maybe with the European countries there was some bit of NFL popularity there already from back when NFL Europe was still around

Some seem random, but more than just the Rams make sense.

Miami Dolphins linked with Spanish-speaking and Latin American countries Makes sense.

Canada linked with teams near the Canadian border… Bills, Seahawks, Vikings, Lions, etc.

Saints linked with France due to the Louisiana French connection.

Mexico linked with Southwest and West Coast teams.. Texas, Arizona, California, Nevada… that’s where Mexicans live.

But all of the European markets seem random.

I’m guessing the Dolphins due to the Latin America/Spanish angle and Denver and other parts of Colorado surprisingly has a lot of Hispanics. The Chiefs, however, I don’t know.

I know people in the UK who are Dolphins fans way back to when Dan Marino played. For whatever reason, Dan Marino and the Dolphins have been a popular NFL team in the UK since the 80s.

Saints and France make a ton of sense - french heritage, french logo.

What doesn't make sense is why the NFL would "give" its red headed step child the second largest country in Europe all to itself. You would think we would get some more clout if we were the sole international partner of France.

Or France doesn't give a shite about the NFL.

I don't think the Raiders, Cowboys and San Diego/LA Chargers need to bring brand awareness to Mexico....

Mexico came to them.

I don’t know. I think it’s actually gaining some ground. Talked to a bunch of young dudes in their 20s this past summer in Manchester and they all were pretty big nfl fans. They couldn’t talk enough about it.

Said it doesn’t really have any competition over there given our day games are coming on in the evening over there.

Sort of - it seems a bit shoe-horned. Florida is about as Mexican as Kentucky or South Dakota. South Florida's Hispanic community is Cuban, Dominican, Puerto Rican, other Caribbean, and heavily South American (Colombian, Venezuelan, Argentinian, Brazilian, etc.). Not Mexican.

That's interesting. South Florida is also a major ex-pat and tourist destination for Europeans and Brits. That would probably be the tie there as well.

It's interesting to assess. American football has a big arse foothold in Germany and the UK. If the NFL were to ever really consider expansion into Europe, London, Berlin, and Munich or Frankfurt would be 1, 2, 3.

And there's a huge gap behind those two countries.

If I were Goodell (and thank goodness I am not), I would launch entire 4 team division in Europe at once instead of piecemeal a Jags London move then X then Y then Z. They all play each other 2X per year then do 2 - 3 week trips to the U.S. for road trips (and vice versa).

1 team in London. 1 team in Berlin. 1 team in Munich or Frankfurt. 1 team in either Madrid, Paris, Rome, Milan, Barcelona, Dublin, or Dubai. They would be enormously successful as real deal NFL teams (instead of the BS NFL Europe) in those first 3 locales. The fourth is trickier.

Are you me

I’ve posted this damn near verbatim in several of these expansion threads over the years. Only thing I’d add is the nfl would want to build regional training centers and hotels/condos for the teams that are coming over here. You’d also work the bye in for teams when they get back from overseas in either direction. It makes no sense to have a single team doing all the travel.

Since the jags have a new lease and stadium being built it would make more sense for just a full 4 expansion at this point and have the international division.

NFL should stay in the US, period. Europeans would (and are) outraged at the very thought of their clubs playing regular season matches in the US. We should be too.

Marketing/global outreach is one thing, but why do the games need to be there?

Guess they're probably willing to pay more for tickets than Americans are? I know it's money but it's annoying.

I don’t disagree with you. All I’m saying is that if they put a team(s) there it makes way more sense to do a division as opposed to a singular team logistically.

The absolute state of Mexicans getting wrapped up in the cowboys and niners when they have the Browns.
