NFL addresses troubling rumors about upcoming game in Brazil

[OldSchool]

They just need to bring back NFL Europe and use it as as a farm league for the NFL. I don't understand why it was disbanded if the idea is to expand the game internationally.

Individual games over there, especially in England, made money. The league there wasn't sustainable. That may have changed and it could I guess be brought back at some time.

I remember more fans in the stands in Europe than what this XFL has had this year. Maybe the NFL could get in bed with the XFL to run a league overseas. Win,win for both leagues??

A large portion though of profitability is TV and ad revenue. Plus we don't really know the stadium costs etc so even with some packed houses we don't know if they made money.

Guess the NBA better not schedule a Celtics game down there. Or should they......

Why NFL? why are you playing games in Brazil?

Greed

Just curious, why are some fans against international games? I mean, everything the NFL does is based on making money, aka "greed." If McDonald's opens stores in Brazil or Poland or China, I don't really give a shit. Just an American business expanding internationally to make more $. How is the NFL any different?

I don't really care much either way, I'd just be curious to understand better why some are against it.

It's logistics to me. These teams travel plenty already. International travel only taxes them further. Times for games for fans back in the US are usually not very favorable. And home season ticket holders get screwed out of a game. And unless they bring the Concord aircraft back, it will never work well for the teams.

I heard that the 49ers are really popular in Bangladesh, Mongolia and Madagascar. I think they should play three of their home games in those venues next year (back-to-back-to-back before playing the Rams!).

Ha... they'd probably rather play in any of those nightmarish places than their human shit dump city...

Gotta wonder if those dudes are aware they are all-time level meme lords.

They already had to move their stadium 60 miles south of San Francisco due to the smell.

All because of a color.

And some people don't think we come from tribal monkeys or that our DNA is 99% of chimps.
LOL...Stupid people.

This might be proof of you coming up way short in the DNA pool.

Aren't those countries the ones that sell all of those Niner Super Bowl jerseys from victories in the 2000's?

You mean from the 20th century.

in 2018, Queen Mary University of London evolutionary geneticist Richard Buggs performed a one-to-one analysis of human and chimp nucleotides. He reported that “the percentage of nucleotides in the human genome that had one-to-one exact matches in the chimpanzee genome was 84.38%.”

Stop spreading the rumor.
