When will the NFL start playing regular season games in China?

They just announced that there will be another 3 games in London next year.

How is playing REGULAR season games in foreign countries making the NFL a better product?

Yes, I'm pissed. I don't see English soccer teams coming over here to play regular league games!

    Well, technically, English soccer teams sometimes come to the US to play in exhibition matches (against MLS teams). Two years ago I went to the Chelsea vs. Sounders game in Seattle.

    But I totally agree with you. It's really stupid that they're going to Europe. I understand that they want to make money, but it's not really fair to the players...

    If the NFL ever expands to England (which is an eight hour time difference from the West coast US), then the English team will have a total advantage over visitors due to jet lag, and they will have a hard time playing in the US for the exact same reason.

    Could you imagine flying eight hours to London, and then the next day having to play a football game?

    I say keep the games here, the thing is there is alot of demand for tickets there, alot of NFL fans are there too. There is alot of money brought in by cities hosting home games, food, bars, hotels, taxi's, everyone benefits so I'd rather keep the games here and help the economy.

    They better never do the games in china.

  • Rog Goodell should be forced to accompany the teams to London and back. Only then will this bullshit stop. To your question, I think we need some muslim outreach and should have games in Pakistan. Then we can all be friends!

    EDIT: Crazy Alice.... "NFL roaster". WTF is an NFL roaster? Probably too much meth while she lives off the productive with her phony, union-sponsored disability.
