NFL Regular Season Games Overseas: Good or Bad Idea?hooskins 10-25-2006, 07:06 PM I mean, the article talks about a rotating system of every 16 years or something, so I guess it is fair, kinda. But think about if the team is in a crucial playoff run, and they need to win their last game(assuming it would be at home), while their opponent has the top seed. The jet lag and travel for the opponent would not matter, while the team in contention would be screwed in two ways: no home field, and jet lag in a game they needa win. steveo395 10-25-2006, 08:35 PM horrible idea...especially for the team thats going to lose a home game they better make the giants play there for their home game because they got an extra one last year Crat92 10-25-2006, 11:58 PM Bad idea! You know this country is a target of terrorism, or am I being to dramatic?

But, if the teams involved come home after the game overseas, have a bye week, then play the next week at home, the union would probably be OK with it. Does suck for the fans back home. Hey, global economy=global football.

TheMalcolmConnection 10-26-2006, 09:44 AM Until it becomes the World Football League and they start fielding teams in other countries, leave the games ONLY HERE. 724Skinsfan 10-26-2006, 10:08 AM Looks like I'm in the minority, I think it's a good idea. The Germans especially seem to be rapidly embracing American football. The games in Mexico and Japan during pre-season have been successful at drawing fans so far. Not excited about losing a home game but since everyone is (seemingly) equally affected then 'thems the breaks'. TheMalcolmConnection 10-26-2006, 10:24 AM My issue is that it's an American sport. I have no problems with other countries enjoying our past-time, but I think it's a real disruption to the fans over here. I would feel the same way if a soccer team from somewhere else came here. Not that I wouldn't want to see them, I'd feel bad for their fans who are missing out on a game. 724Skinsfan 10-26-2006, 10:34 AM American sport soon to be a World sport. It'll only affect a fan once/twice(?) every 16 years. Who cares if the 49er's and Browns play in Uzbekistan? | |
