For the fourth year in a row the NFL's only international game will be in London.

Dublin?

Berlin?

Madrid?

Moscow?

Warsaw?

Rio de Janeiro?

Beijing?

Capetown?

Buenos Aires?

I listed more European cities because for some reason the NFL seems to only want to go there. Of course listing possible sites, begs the question. Why is there only one game played at an international site? Why not 10 or so?

1. Logistics? n/t

2. Because..

Because travelling to London and back for one week is hard enough you want teams to do it more than once? In a 17 game season?

Back when NFL Europe was around, they played in several different countries but it didn't really catch on.

3. Toronto?

:shrug:

6. I thought the Bills were playing some games up there now.

it is only aboot 140km from Buffalo, eh?

7. I wonder how the CFL would feel about that. n/t

4. Come on.

They're pro athletes.

They have a hard enough time grasping the Queen's English. :rofl:

5. Here's my thought

Right now, a Triple 7 from Denver to London is 9 hours. They would need time to get rid of jet lag, and anything longer than 8 hours would shorten their recovery/turnaround time. Even from JFK to LHR is 7.15 hours flight time.

Technology will advance to a point where the trip overseas would be shorter. It just needs to be developed for civilian purposes, not defense purposes, if you think about it.

8. Oops

Misread your post.

What I was trying to say was they had regular season NFL games in other international sites.

9. A deeper question: why are two West Coast teams playing?

East Coast teams I could get. That's the reverse of traveling to California.

But this year it's the 49ers and Broncos -- an additional 4 to 5 hours extra travel time. It's simply ridiculous to travel half way around the world to play one game.

:mad:

10. TEN!?!?!

Why the Fuck would you want your team to lose a home game so they can play in another country that doesn't give a shit about the sport. Fuck that.
