Football is the only sport that isn't global, yet.
Too late.
It will sell out in one-off games. But people won't get behind an American Football team unless of course there is somehow a franchise in each country that is allowed to compete in the NFL.
That euro league was a decent idea but it bombed.

Originally posted by Check View PostI think football will never catch on anyways due to the great costs. Think of how much pads and all that costs. One of the reasons boxing, baseball, and soccer have become so global is because it is very cheap to play.
There are NFL fans in this country if we had our own team, even I'd be interested.
It'd be a British based team made up of American players anyway.
Potentially, a lot of revenue in it.
I doubt it's feasible.

Originally posted by Check View PostAre you trying to compare NFL Europe to the globalization of basketball or baseball? Come on! Baseball is huge in Latin America. It's quickly creeping up on soccer. Basketball is pretty big now too.
And what are the Fat Yanks gonna say when other countries eventually catch up in those sports?
"All our best baseball players are playing the Wii"

Brock Lesnar, UFC champion, great FIGHTER, freak of nature athlete, ****** at american football.
Great athletes CAN make good fighters, but it's not transferrable, fighting is a mentality, maybe some can cross over but very few indeed.
Lebron James is far more likely to have been another audley harrison or michael grant than the next Muhammed Ali.
This excuse is lame, i am sick of excuses.
