Bad how? I watched those games from the comfort of my living room and guess what? They looked just like games played here in the U.S.I thought England was a bad idea. This takes the cake.

Yep, they got it.Rams also might be up for Hard Knocks this year.
The time to fly over there and have to deal with jet lag and just everything involved with travel for NFL teams and their families. I know they get paid a lot, but for us to watch them most of the time I would have to miss church due to the time difference. It looks like the Redskins are going to be over there twice this year which is not fair at all.Bad how? I watched those games from the comfort of my living room and guess what?

That's interesting, hadn't read that. I love the early games. Would have hated it before I became a parent. Several years later im up in time for that game every Sunday, at least until the kids are old enough to learn how to sleep in, the savages.The time to fly over there and have to deal with jet lag and just everything involved with travel for NFL teams and their families.

Well, seeing they try to go across the seas every year and play a game and seeing it's 1 game, all the hoopla is there for that one game.They reportedly have teams volunteering. The NFL , Goodell, and the teams are the same thing in this case... BTW.
From what I've read the 2008 China game was cancelled to focus on London. Surely the economy had a hand in it also.
What do you know of the NFL's popularity in China, since you state a fact about it?

Hmmm, I don't see the Patriots over there, or the Broncos, or any of the TOP teams every year ...My church has different times for services, Saturday too.
As for the Redskins, there was a chance that they could have played consecutive weeks in London, but it was determined by the 2015 NFC East standings so the Giants get it instead.....
Game 1: 2nd October 2016 – Wembley Stadium

Its a shame they can't get quality play here IN the USA that they have to go elsewhere to try and get people interested.NFL's global plan: play everywhere, stay nowhere

Then have 2 separate leagues and then have the winners meet in the Super Bowl?Yeah, pretend you aren't interested, lol.
It's never been more popular, all about continuing to expand the audience.

You're entitled to your opinion but you're not entitled to your own facts. Twice now in this thread you've stated it's not popular in China, prove it or move on.Expanding the audience across the seas ?
Do you really think that thousands and thousands of people over there are watching the NFL weekly when over here ?
The only reason they are interested when we come over there is because its a novelty.

Or nonsensically double down again like you did on the Goodell rule change discussion I guess.

The report says 13.3 percent of Russians are fans of the NFL, with a growth of 5.3 percent in the past year leading to a total of 10.38 million fans.
Just because they think they might have guestimate numbers, this does in no way project that they will fill stands week in and week out.
I hope the NFL does put teams over there, it would be a scheduling nightmare and then finally they can fall on thier asses and finally stop with the stupid idea that they can support a world wide league.
Guesstimate? If you bothered to read the article I posted (that took me 10 seconds to find with a Google search) you would see that the report was produced by a "leading sports marketing research company". Hardly a guesstimate.The report says 13.3 percent of Russians are fans of the NFL, with a growth of 5.3 percent in the past year leading to a total of 10.38 million fans.
