The NFL is considering expanding the league overseas to London. I think this may be a good idea. American football is becoming extremely popular all around the world. Taking it to London would result in more marketing and more revenue. London is a premiere location so the NFL has the right idea. However there are some issues with this idea. First of all traveling to london would be a complete hassle for players. frequent Long flight hours is not good on the body.The different time zones will have a big affect not only on the players but on the TV companies and their ability to sustain viewers. Another issue would be competition, London teams may not be as talented as the teams here in the US given the fact that is is not as popular out there. AS a result filling the stadium to generate the number they hope may prove to be a difficult task.
The idea is there, it may take a little more planning though. If it is proven to be successful many more opportunities would be available for thousands of people. The money that could be generated would be substantial, which is why this is even in consideration. I would like to see it work myself so hopefully the NFL can find a way to resolve some of the major issues.
You mention that you hope the NFL can hopefully fix some of teh major issues, what is a one way they can fix one of the major issues seeing as you are an athlete yourself?
