So my NFL team (Green Bay Packers) came to London 18 months ago - and I went to the game (v New York Giants)
How is that so different to BHA playing in the States?
20 years will do meThe Packers have ended up in Sao Paulo this year. The NFL is expanding abroad all the time (as an aside, the Premier League would benefit from the wage cap imposed in the States).
Whether it's 5, 10 or 20 years the Premier league will go the same way. The players are Global, we see Global fans at the Amex and the league is watched Globally. It's a logical next step whether we like it or not.

And? They let their clubs move states, don’t have the same tribal feeling as footballThree NFL teams give up 1/8 of their home matches so UK can have in season games.
They sanctioned VAR didn't they?Don't the FA have a golden share, ie they can veto something they don't believe is in the interest of football?
NFL is totally different. It's an American sport, with very litte involvement outside the USA - yes,I know there are fans in this country, but compared to the number of football fans? A drop in the ocean!The Packers have ended up in Sao Paulo this year. The NFL is expanding abroad all the time (as an aside, the Premier League would benefit from the wage cap imposed in the States).

I've been scouring google maps, but doesn't look like they have any stadia close by, they don't even have any High Schools. Would have been nice to find a playing field with a running track around it, but alas, I don't think one exists in this county.Any of our matches should be played in Brighton, New Jersey in the county of Sussex

Football, on the other hand, is a global sport, probably the biggest sport in the world. While the NFL is trying to broaden its worldwide profile, football has no such need. On the other hand, football is run (and mostly owned) by money-grabbing ******s.

not sure the US market is ready to jump on football as a sport and foreign clubs at the same time.OTOH, "Football" still has a lot of growth room in the US and still the greatest economy in the world by far is worth going after by "Football."
Now as far as being the greatest Democracy in the world that is shirley waning and I hope reverses soon. I'm not shir yet if or when it will happen.
