What a waste. I imagine the marquee matchups don't get London'd because the teams won't agree to giving up their best home games. So you're trying to grow a sport in a country that gives zero fukks with matchups that even the hardcore fans in the league's home country don't give a fukk about? Okaaaaaaay

The British do, it's just that the rest of Europe doesn't.
They don't.

That the NFL has a game or two in London every year is more of a gimmick thing and it's not like the British need much to get together and drink.
England will never, ever love football to the point that there will be youth leagues and kids playing at a HS/College level.

The best the NFL can hope for is a re-branded NFL Europe...which was largely just failed NFL and college players. And we all saw how miserably that shyt ended.

You moving goal posts now. There are plenty of fans of football in the U.K. but certainly not to the point where they have leagues for it. Football is a very expensive sport to play and there are plenty of schools both at the high school and college level in the US that can't afford to have a team but do so out of public pressure. No way the U.K. would go down that road.

If they're doing these foreign games I still say they should add one in Munich or Dortmund, Germany has arguably the best grassroots Am. Football base in Europe, they've had a few guys make it to the NFL too
