It benefits "your" team's owners, as always, or else they wouldn't do it. They can buddy up with some more international bigwigs, there will be some fat sponsorship deals either way. They don't even have to genuinely conquer new markets, that would just be the big bonus

this is a travesty
don't they realize what makes your league fun is the different ruleset?
if people want to watch a watered-down NFL they'd watch college football or their local high school teams
god, canada, why do you fucking ruin everything
what's the goal, here? to become a feeder league?

guess they ain't doing int'l games during the final weeks of regular season, especially no games in yurop/asia/straya, which means there will be weekends with 2 or more int'l games
how they gonna do that schdule-wise?
could they do Saturday games despite that college-football-blackout rule?

On the one hand I feel for our American comrades about this shit and how billionaires are allowed to just take their sports games away for more profit with no consequences.
Equally though I dont think Americans (mostly) have the same match going culture as UK/Germany/Netherlands/Balkans etc. Except maybe Ice Hockey?

The NFL is going to get banned in America because of all the CTE, so they're trying to move it to countries that either don't know about CTE or don't care about it. I'm afraid Canada is too first-world for this.

You'd have a point if it were only games in Brazil and maybe Germany and not in the UK, Australia and now France, all of which have active and very public rugby leagues that are stricter when it comes to contact and concussion protocols.

They extended the season to have one extra game. For a while teams played 16 games every regular season, 8 home and 8 away. With the recently added 17th game, NFL can move games to other countries while teams still get 8 home games.

this isnt something that, youre gonna play a game in a foreign country, and kids are gonna play this shit
kids aren't playing sports in any country bro, maybe africa
this is just a cash grab while the nfl still has this apperance of being healthy
but its very much over
its a non story

not like it wasn't obvious already but robert kraft outright and explicitly stated just last month that the goal is to have an 18 game schedule with every team doing one international game a year because, you guessed it
>“Every team will go to 18 [regular season games] and two [preseason games] and eliminate one of the preseason games. Every team, every year, will play one game overseas,” Kraft said on “Zolak & Bertrand” on 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston.
>“Part of the reason is so we can continue to grow the cap and keep our labor happy, because we’re sort of getting near the top here,” Kraft said from Gillette Stadium. “As long as we can keep growing revenue, we can keep long-term labor peace.”
