Canada doesn't even have a playoff spot this year![]()
100% correct.
But we are still the only folks who appreciate it the way it should be played.
Bleating from Calgary aside......

That makes sense. Send over steaming piles of garbage, with a few exceptions, to see if the int'l crowd bites the hook.
Surely there are huge economic incentives involved.
Teams should tell Goodell to drop China plans, or find new employment. Playing in China is a completely idiotic idea.
That is somewhat true, but these deals are all about marketing the brand, and China has more millionaires than any other country in the world, so there is that. Next step, a rich China man buys a NFL team for a google amount of greenbacks.Teams should tell Goodell to drop China plans, or find new employment. Playing in China is a completely idiotic idea.
I understand the money possibility but making teams travel to England is hard enough. Now add hours, to those long flightsThat is somewhat true, but these deals are all about marketing the brand, and China has more millionaires than any other country in the world, so there is that.

Agree, but for some West Teams I guess travel time is similar, although I think you still pass 2 time zones going to China from WC.I understand the money possibility but making teams travel to England is hard enough. Now add hours, to those long flights

Wow man, I was going to mention Nixon. Good historical fact. He's the one that opened the commercials borders after China's last dynasty.The size of their middle class is mind boggling. And growing all the time. That's a big pool of people to market jerseys and hats and all the other shvt that the NFL peddles. So even if a tiny percentage of that middle class are interested in the NFL, it's a potential money bonanza for the league.
Thanks Richard Nixon.![]()

not to mention the issues that can arise should any player do anything against China law.
This is true especially if they only shoot baby girls.What, like disappearing Hong Kong dissidents? NFL players could open up on a crowd with Uzi's, and so long as the committee heavyweights running China say it didn't happen, then it didn't happen.
I think the obvious solution is to bring back the NFL Europe.
