the NFL is a cocksucking corporation especially under Goodell, damn right Hawaii needs the money more than them, but Goodell arse wants to hold them hostage, the NFL today is a giant conglomerate that makes money all over the place, and with Goodell at it's head now looks to capitlaize on that in every fricked up way imaginable, like this international crap.

imagine the horror of capitialists in what is (or at least was) a capitalist country trying to maximize their profits.

Funny that the NFL is viewed as greedy, but the Hawaii Bureau or what ever wanting to raise fees are not.

the NFL is greedy, take off your blinders, and you can't blame a state for wanting to drum up money for it's causes when you don't know how long the Bowl will be there, I mean with Goodell threatening to move it anyday now, you know.

I don't have blinders on, I have no problem with a private business in what is supposed to be a free market economy, trying to make more money or reduce costs.

yet we blame the NFL for not wanting to pay more, oh the irony.

I think they decided to move the game because the state or who ever was threatening to increase fees.

who is we? certainly not the average fan, and if you're talking about the players they are well compensated, but I cannot blame them for wanting more, after all they do have short careers and the NFL has proven they don't give a damn about them.

If you're alluding to the rumors about a SB in London (BTW, it is only speculation by a reporter in London...), well the NFL stands to GAIN much more revenue from the Super Bowl than it does from the Pro Bowl. Thus, an international SB makes more sense than the Pro Bowl in Hawai'i, from a financial point of view.

orly? how so. If the stadium in Hawaii wants to charge more and they don't want to pay more what is it?

a good analogy would be i own a business and rent office space from you, you want to raise the rent since my business is doing well, i say no thanks and move to a different office. What is the problem?

Bring back the LA patch on the saints jerseys. The only reason that that were taken off was bacause of the international initiative. We play for Louisiana and people from Louisiana. I doubt if many (any) Saints fans don't have any roots in LA.
