3 regular season games will be played in London this year.
I didn't know that the NFL has been playing regular season games in London since 2007!
Most players probably hate it, just like the Bills hated playing a, "home," game in Canada.
The demographics of Toronto seem more conducive to a professional soccer franchise, not American football.
If the NFL didn't learn their lesson after losing two teams from Los Angeles, The "Toronto Series," should have taught the NFL that size and population really do not matter. That lesson goes all the way back to the roots of the game in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Pro football is a unique American sport. There is no other sport like it in the world.
The rest of the world prefers rugby, soccer, hockey and curling.
I wish the NFL would concentrate on their product here at home, instead of trying to, "increase their market share," overseas and expanding their product outside of the United States.
Some things will always be...
Hockey will always be king in Toronto.
Soccer will always be king in England.
Football will always be king in America.
If a potential future owner had the opportunity to buy the Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs or a new franchise with a brand new stadium in LA, what franchise would they choose?
Any smart businessman would choose the small market team with loyal customers.
Selling pro football in LA is like trying to sell a bucket of wings and a sheet pizza in Beverly Hills or Miami.
The NFL should be more worried about why the Miami Dolphins have so many empty orange seats instead playing football in London.
