Perhaps billyskank can explain why the Dolphins and Giants are playing in Wembley Stadium

1. They're hoping nobody in America will have to see so much fail in one place

[bicentennial_baby]

5. .

:rofl:

[billyskank]

2. I cannot.

It does not seem to make any sense at all.

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. I have to wonder

If Hull Kingston Rovers played Wigan Warriors at the Orange Bowl, how many would watch?

[billyskank]

7. Maybe one.

If you didn't watch, I guess none.

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. I'd totally watch ru... football

Hell, I'd watch cricket, if it were ever on telly here. :bounce:

3. Oedi, I believe that's one of the signs of the Apocalypse...

have the horsemen appeared yet?

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. Yeah, and they average 6' 4" and 291 pounds

[lost-in-nj]

4. I just heard about this today

I was told that it was to see if there was any interest in England for American football....
What difference that would make?? and why would they do this??
I don't know


:shrug: :shrug:

9. I think it has to do with sun and sitting on an empire

ok.. I better run now :P

:yoiks:

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. England shall nevah surrendah!

Oh, wait...

[flvegan]

12. We're showing the UK that REAL football involves an oblong ball

and wide usage of the hands.

:popcorn:

[billyskank]

17. But we have that also.

We call it rugby football.

[flvegan]

18. Yabbut, you don't have endzone dances.

[tjwmason]

13. Their trying to get British folk to watch American football

Given that American football is a nancified version of rugby, I suspect we'll stick with the real thing.

[JTG of the PRB]

14. They're hoping a change of venue will help the Dolphins win a game.

Hmm.. What's that you say? Miami lost? Hmm... 0-7 in North America, 0-1 in Europe.

I do hear they're planning on playing a game in Antarctica soon... Maybe if Miami actually shows up and the other team doesn't, they could win by means of forfeit?

Maybe the Miami could play the Antarctica All-Star team... Although, it is pretty much made up of penguins... And they'll play football AND hunt for fish... And the fish hunting represents 98% of the total competition...

Man. The Dolphins are screwn.

[havocmom]

15. fan outsourcing

[petronius]

16. The NHL had some early games in England as well

And aren't there usually NFL games in Mexico and Japan?

I guess the league offices aren't content with ripping off fans in the U.S. alone - they want to dip into pockets worldwide...
