Lmao.

I don’t like the international bull shit personally.

Nothing cool about the international games. Sorry, I have zero fucks to give about sports fans in Brazil or England, or Germany.

Using neutral sites is the only way to balance the schedule with an odd number of games.

And it makes a ton of money for the league while investing in areas where NFL can grow.

Literally no downside here.

With a 17 game schedule…

Every team should have 1 neutral site international game, 8 home and 8 away.

Would be pretty cool if the schedule makers could make that happen.

Yep.

Thank you.

RIP Toby Keith. Probably not many country fans here but the guy had 32 no 1s and he wrote every word of every one of them. Cancer sucks.

Eagles open the season on a Friday night in Brazil. WTF! Send horseshit like the Rams, Chargers, Jaguars, etc…to Brazil. The fans in their geographic homes don’t even give a fuck about the game. The Eagles have sell out streak that goes back like 30 years.

LOL. Eagles are lucky to have ducked the intl games thus far.

Sadly, he always reminds me of that awful "Courtesy Of The Red White & Blue" jingoistic disaster of a song.

Lmao.

Insert "catch" for his usage of "get" and we could almost agree, lol.

They’ve played multiple times in London.

International games should be for franchises that can’t get a local following like the Rams, Chargers, Jags, and Bucs. Pretty much if your stadium is always a threat to be overrun by opposing team’s fans then you should be on the international list every year. They play too many of these games anyway. Sell them preseason games if they really have to do the international shit.

Sure, just ignore the fact that the Rams were 6th in home attendance this year.

Sure will. Much of that is LA is a destination city in a warm weather location and at every home game 15-20% of that attendance are fans of the opposing team.

Ticket sales are ticket sales. Rams do not belong in your grouping of assumed poor drivers.

Jacksonville should just move to Europe.

Sure they do. The people of LA really don’t give a fuck about them or the Chargers.

Jacksonville should just move to Europe.

Then you have to have more games in Europe every year.

 

[trojanfan12]

Sure they do. The people of LA really don’t give a fuck about them or the Chargers.

They don't care about the Chargers. They do care about the Rams and there are still a lot of Raiders fans in L.A. as well.

Why do so many opposing fanbases take over their stadium?

 

[trojanfan12]

Why do so many opposing fanbases take over their stadium?

Doesn't really happen at Rams games, especially when they have a good team.

It's Chargers games that get taken over by opposing teams fans, especially when they play the Raiders.

They share a stadium though, so folks assume the same happens with the Rams.

That.
