I don't like throwback jerseys, but I get it. Sales, revenue for teams. These teams are worth billions. The Dallas Cowboys are worth 9 billion and the lowest team Cincinnati Bengals are worth a measly 4.1 billion. Parking prices at stadiums are high, $20 bucks for a beer, $ 12 bucks for a hotdog, NFL already putting games all over various streaming sites, that alienate a segment of fans. But when is enough.....enough?
Last night's game was only on Peacock streaming service. I have it, watched it and hated it. The playing conditions were horrible. Players slipping and sliding everywhere. The TV audio was poor, with a constant echo, sounded like the announcers were in a tunnel. At times sound like two different audio feeds at the exact same time. The fans at the stadium were rooting, but didn't seem like true fans of either team...more like just loving being at an American event, and I get that part, must have been amazing to see a huge American sport in their stadium.
The point is: The NFL is the most profitable sports organization in the world. This is such greed. What’s wrong with keeping football as an American game? Additionally, it’s unfair to the cities of the designated home team because the local businesses are missing out on the revenue they receive.
And what about the FANS? Unfair to move something that the fans in these NFL cities helped support and buy going to the games and buying the merchandise and then move games elsewhere.
Am I wrong? Am I missing something?
And by the way, the NFL is planning 7 internation games in 2025 AND looking to expand that numbers in the following years
NFL eyeing a return trip to Brazil in 2025 as part of seven international games that will be played
During an interview with Pat McAfee this week, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said that the league will be looking to play seven international games in 2025.
"We think we'll be seven next year, we're already going to Spain next year, we'll be back in Mexico, I hope, by next year," Goodell said. "So we're really excited where the future is for us on an international basis."
