Why does the NFL hate England?

[techs]

Sending over the Broncos and the 49'ers?

The Brits are probably thinking its time to reactivate the Chain Home stations. After all, bombs are on the way.

Change your squatting laws then we might send some good teams over there.

the fuck you say?

Why does the NFL bother trying to get England to like the NFL? Are they trying to take all the violence off the field and place it in the stands like soccer? England hates the NFL, screw 'em. They don't deserve good games, they don't deserve any games at all.

these deals are made well before the season starts. Maybe a few years, even?

that being said, the 49ers weren't expected to suck so bad this year. And Denver...well, Denver is generally just Denver, yeah?

ignoring that, you could argue :what is the point of sending this game there? Who cares about SF vs Denver?"

well, that might be part of it. Imagine having the Packers v Bears, or Cowboys v Skins game oversees. NFL fans would riot.

I know whoever is assigned as the home team hates it as they lose 1/8 of their regular season revenue.

 

[RavenSEAL]

Personally, i think they should have 4 pre-season games in england...that is the best solution...

i'm sure the league kicks in money that compensates, at least
