Are you just realizing now that this league is only about money for the owners? Its a mult-billion dollar global business.

No, of course it's not surprising or new to me, the NBA is just the same. But I feel David Stern acts the part better when he says he's trying to globalize basketball. You can't do that with the NFL, so it seems football wise to be a waste. So if you are going to be disingenuine, learn how to look like it isn't about money. You know what you get when you take football away from the NFL? Just money. We fans don't benefit from international games, as season tickets cost the same. I'm glad it's them, not us, but I feel we'll get sucked in again. But I won't carry the Rams flag to protest, I'll wait for it to be too late - as in 2014 when we're asked to go play them there.

Now that I think about it, they can't have us play them their - it would help us too much. They'll screw us over but they won't help. Imagine one year when the Rams are better they will play their home game in London and away game in Santa Clara? I think not. The Rams will play the Jaguars there, where the win was guaranteed anyway. (Jacksonville will have a slight timezone advantage)

Doesn't the guy who owns the Rams own the soccer club Arsenal? I think they play in the English Premier League. He probably wants to establish the NFL where he already makes a ton of money.

I don't think the NFL allows its owners to be a part of any other professional sports league.
