Geoff_K Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-superbowl-london&prov=ap&type=lgns By CHRIS KAHN, Associated Press Writer October 15, 2007 SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- A future Super Bowl champion may someday be crowned overseas in a game witnessed predominantly by a foreign audience, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said. "There's a great deal of interest in holding a Super Bowl in London," Goodell told reporters Monday. "So we'll be looking at that." *click the link to read the story NO NO NO NO NO NO NO !

PokerPacker Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 while i understand having a game across the pond every once in a while, putting the superbowl over there? that's just wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Pressure Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Very bad idea. Why the hell would the NFL run that whole "America's game" series if they plan on making it "America and Europe and possibly other's game" You can't take a **** on fans like that either. It's already difficult enough cost-wise to go to a superbowl if your team is lucky enough to make it, now you have to compete with all of Britain for tickets to the game and plane tickets? Who cares about showcasing the NFL to Europeans? Europeans don't have the same love of the sport, they can't even get over the fact that we call it football and that is a completely different sport for them. It would be like holding all the World Cup events in Dallas or something...nobody cares, it just takes the game away from the majority of it's fans. Can't even get started on why this would be a slap in the face of American economy and a complete cluster **** of time zone shifting for both the players and the televised broadcast in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teller Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 It's bad enough they play the game in February now. But another damned country? That's un-Amerified. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattGeorge85 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 With our luck, the Skins will finally make it back to the Big Game and only the super affluent will be able to see it (I know it's bad now, but overseas travel yikes!). The Super Bowl is the pinnacle of a fans heart. Don't **** on America for an audience that obstensibly couldn't care less. Sure there are English and European fans but I'm not sure it would yield the profit that the NFL would like. It's a no brainer in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
