And you heard this s**t from where?
In October I was amongst 85,000 NFL fans screaming their lungs out for 2 teams that 95% of us didn't even support, having paid 4 times what the yanks pay for tickets... yeah, we don't care at all

And ya'll marry your cousins and have a shotgun in your trailer.. see, I can stereotype you too

Exactly. Just because quite a bit of the country doesn't care, or barely cares, means nothing. There is plenty of enough that do care to make these games work.

I just wish they'd quit until they add the 17th game so no one loses a home game. Spread the game internationally, let everyone play a game out of the country, and no one loses revenue from having a home game.

Well the rest of the world has there Basketball Baseball and the "Real Football" game and i just dont see how this will work out other than the Us teams traveling over there while the NFL-EU was useful it didn't include the true nfl stars so i dont know if its truely possible to have a team over there inless its a full league and have the top teams from each on play and then they can be called world champs

Ok, you lost me!
Your original complaint was that nobody in the UK cared about the NFL, so why show a regular season game here.
I responded to that, with my actual experiences here.

Now as to whether the UK can support a local franchise of an NFL team, I would agree, there's NO way. A lot of the people who made it to the Saints vs Chargers came from hundreds of miles, spent a lot of money, etc. Fine as a once a year deal, but not something they'd do 8 times a year, and support the occasional away game as well. Not to mention 8 US teams having to come and play the London team's home games.. no doubt the "you can have your bye week after the London game" wouldn't be possible for all of these.
Not to mention, lots of us have been NFL fans for many years.. I'm not ditching 26 years of the Skins for some "local" franchise!

If that's your issue, I 100% agree with you. But if you think the UK can't host 1 regular season game a year due to lack of interest, prepare to watch the 3rd year in a row sell out in super fast time at REDICULOUS prices
