It's a good business decision. Creating a global market for football will increase revenue streams and widen the fan base, thus adding value to teams and getting players and owners more money. I think football will have appeal all over the globe, and the NFL is trying to take advantage of this.
For fans, it's the loss of one home game every sixteen years, which isn't exactly a hardship.
Teams will attempt to tie in vacation and tourist packages with their games as a way to get fans to travel. One idea would be a cruise to the overseas destination with some current and retired team members. I think that would really have some appeal to the home fans.

I think it would be great. For instance, getting the Rugby players in Australia to play football with the U.S. football team would be a match for a lifetime.

I think it is stupid. Export NFL Network for a few years first. Prove the intrest will stay instead of this being a novelty act.
