The NFL shuns Las Vegas because they have betting on football. It is hypocritical for the NFL to promote games in London since there is betting on NFL games in London. You can't watch a sporting event from Great Britain that doesn't have advertising for gambling at the stadium or arena.

Those gambling stores are awesome too. Think convenience store with slot machines and sports book.

Incorporating NFL teams abroad one at a time will never work.

The teams that have to travel to Germany get shafted. Not to mention, the team in Germany literally has to travel across the globe for every away game.

The only way for it to work, is to have a European NFL league separate from the one in the United States. (which is NFL Europe anyway)

It would really suck for the players on the European team when they have to make a trans-atlantic road trip every other week
