A new Airbus 380 can be well over $500 million for one plane, now times that by 32 teams. The NFL OWNERS WOULD HAVE A COW. And i read where Europe is fazing the plane out for lack of orders for more fuel efficent planes. NFL will expand to London and Mexico in the next ten years (they have to expand by 2 teams.) Azteca Stadium is wilder than any American city. London has more money to spend. Note, years back when the London Monarchs were playing at Wembly i read that was the first time in London history that one team united the whole city (not counting the English National team.)

[@brandonhinrichs4393]

If they win the whole country would get behind them. Winning has that effect on people

[@rtyable]

That’s just taking the 8/9 regular season games into account. Gotta put OTAs into that count, the preseason games and their travel. And if the NFL worked with UK schools to introduce flag football into schools that would be a much cheaper(in terms of equipment, only need a ball and some ribbons) and safer for those new to the game.

[@TickleMeElmo55]

I think is where the uniqueness of American sports fans come in. In regards to following multiple sports on both an amateur and professional level, Americans wouldn't have much of a problem adding another sport to watch. If we add in NCAA sports, Americans also tend to follow NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA and MLS. Nascar is niche, but there are fans who watch that also watch other sports. At the youth level, American kids tend to play multiple sports too. In my childhood, there were numerous kids who played any mixture of baseball, basketball, American football, soccer, volleyball and ice hockey. Add in gymnastics, martial arts, softball, swimming and wrestling too. In terms of non-American sports, rugby union has formed its own league in the likes of Major League Rugby (MLR) in the States. It's growing slowly but steadily, with some organizations building a grassroots culture to focus on youth/community rugby pipeline to high school and then to the national team (Eagles). Though the US may have its staples (American football, baseball) it's exceptionally open-minded to watch and integrate other sports into its sporting landscape - and often times it's for the best, since it either forms a professional league later on (i..e MLS) once it gains enough traction or it produces elite athletes in the form of Olympians (swimming, gymnastics, wrestling, track).

[@bigbake132]

The NFL are playing a game in Germany this year and will play at least one game in Germany for the next 4 seasons. 3 games in London, 1 in Mexico, and 1 in Germany this year so 5 international games for 2022.

I wonder if Mike ever takes off the white north face jacket

[@davidbarshjr9854]

If the NFL puts a team in London, they would probably have to create an entire division in Europe. Maybe Frankfurt Galaxy would come back, put a team in Paris and maybe in Rome, if they could get the fan base. Frankfurt Galaxy still has a pretty big fan base even though they haven't been around in a decade. Rome and Paris would have to bee built up. But another problem would be to even the league out to have 10 divisions. Maybe a Pacific based League, Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand and they could probably do a team in American Samoa.

[@hrussell9677]

I don’t think fans would be taken from other sports. In the U.S., there are overlapping seasons with football, baseball, hockey and basketball along with college sports. People pick and choose what sports they watch, but many people watch and follow many sports. In Boston, many fans are Patriot, Celtic, Red Sox and Bruin fans and if there are competing schedules, people will just choose which to watch or they record games to watch later.

[@Bea-Dubya]

Not only would you pull people from the UK into the NFL but you have other people from France, Germany, Italy, etc flicking over to London to watch the games.

There was a World Football League and a World League of American Football at one time but it never did well enough to survive.

[@kentgrady9226]

If the NFL expand/relocate to London, British people will see a blitz marketing campaign which will defy belief. Adverts, corporate messaging, player and executive appearances, crossover branding, and partnership with major football clubs from South Hampton to Glasgow will all be in play. It will be a double edged sword. Younger people, frequent travelers to the US, and those disaffected with their own football clubs (we all remember the response to the European Super League) may catch on. Traditionalists, older people, and those who find American glitz and glam to be vulgar and grotesque will reject it. It will be interesting.

Long time fan, just subscribed. This is by far your best and most insightful video ever! Usually I skip your banter, but this was spot on.

[@stevechilders2624]

What they would probably do to begin a new team in a different country would be have a draft that’s composed of players from all the current American football teams say two players from each team, the team would decide who they would keep in reserve, and who would be left available for the draft current regular good players that the team couldn’t freeze they have to let them go if they were drafted by London.

[@MattMajcan]

as someone who grew up in america and got into football (soccer) in my 20s, i was so excited to see the sport grow in america. I did not for 1 secon expect the opposite to happen too, and the NFL to blow up in england, but that's what's happening. So bizarre randomly watched a brit on youtube and they'll be wearing a kansas city hat or something. I understand now how it can be kind of uncomfortalble for fans of clubs in england to suddenly have a bunch of foreigners supporting your team.

There's Britball (see: BAFA National Leagues) and British Universities American Football League (BUAFL) and others. The influence of NFL Europe lives on.

It would be interesting to have a rivalry dynamic between the US and UK. Especially if the UK team made a super bowl.

[@saintsataniko2116]

If the NFL ever placed a team in London, you wouldn't have to draw from local talent (of which there probably isn't any). They would just be part of the NFL draft and you would be picking Alabama players the same as every other team. The problem might arise with US players not wanting to live overseas and particularly a matter of whether big free agent players would find London more appealing than say Dallas or Miami. Overall it just sounds too costly when compared to the returns, unless some very wealthy British businessmen (or Emirates) happen to be huge NFL fans and want to dive in more for a flex than a profit.

[@kadennelms8419]

Maybe add a buffer that allows the UK team to go slightly over the salary cap so they can play players more to entice them to make that move?

[@cavaleer]

American football players fresh out of college ain't living in a foreign country. They'd have to be paid a veteran contract and they'd bounce immediately after the contract. It's a complete non-starter but the NFL already failed with NFL Europe. They should already know. The NFL doesn't need foreign teams. They need the NFL Experience in a stadium like building that would hold 5,000, sell-out every week, serve food and beverages, and these could be built around the world at virtually no cost and no risk. They think in the box which is surprising for a bunch of businessmen.

[@mypud4068]

Exactly unless your a fringe draft pick which case youd do anything to get an opportunity if your 100% getting drafted who would want to leave America and the team just wouldn't be good

[@sgtpickles1319]

I was lucky enough to go to the Seahawks game in London a few years ago and had a great time, would absolutely recommend it to anyone. As far as the fans I met there I would say only 30-40 percent were American, maybe another 30-40 percent from the UK, and the rest from other countries in Europe.

[@christophermckinney3924]

You could add an NFL team in London if you clustered the away games and simply created an alternative American facility for the team for those games. If they had a second set of gear and a practice facility in the US they wouldn't have to travel with everything. It owuld make teh logistics of flying less costly and cumbersome.

[@Ponyboy_Curtis]

right like a home base in the states that makes sense

[@appljaxoriginals9779]

I think the UK team should take requests for the traveling team of which gear and equipment to have on hand for each player coach and staff member so it cost cheaper to fly. It’s probably easier and cheaper as the traveling team to reimburse the home team directly instead of going through the airlines

[@mypud4068]

@@ATLMike94 because within the 16 game schedule a team thats very good at home vs the road can snap a 2 plus losing streak just by getting back to their own field and fans. If you are London and are particularly good ay home well then yoy don't have that chance to break the schedule up and get a much needed win for morale. Its very nuanced but I think that playing 8 away in a row is just way to many games just like 8 In a row at home would be unfair to any NFL team. Then what about the playoffs? If London wins or loses home field advantage teams have to deal with a quick one week turnaround and play at a high level?
