I do. I understand that they are trying to expand their market but i just dont agree with playing a regular season game in another country. The NFL is an American league and should be played in America. There are already european leagues.All the fans in other countries are more than welcome to come here to watch if they want.
This is how it starts. The next thing you know we will be watching a superbowl being played Japan.
If I was a season ticket holder for the Giants or miami I would be pissed.

The greedy owners shut down NFL Europe because it cost to much and now want to take away from the home market. Bad decision and I hope everyone complains, it was a terrible game in horrible conditions. A soccer field not in condition for the NFL, bad decision.

Yeah I totally agree with you! The NFL is an American League & need to play in America! We dont have leagues from other nations coming & playing over here(unless they are playing an American team)! If they want to watch American Football then they can come over here. Just like if we wanted to watch one of their games we would go over there! The NFL just needs to keep it Old school & have the games over here! The NFL is a huge league with a huge fan base & we are doing fine over here. There is no reason to go over seas to have a game! Please keep the games in America! I really dont want to have the next Super Bowl in Japan :(

I do not have a problem with the NFL playing in England as long as it is a exihbition, or a pre season game. When it is a regular season game the home team fans only get so many a year they deserve to be able to see them.

I have a HUGE problem with the NFL playing any, regular season games, overseas. I don't mind them playing exhibition games elsewhere... but...
When they play in London, or wherever, the workers at the home stadiums, are sitting idle, not collecting paychecks. Not only are the workers screwed out of their wages. Stop outsourcing our resources... Keep American jobs in America.

I agree.. they shouldn't have played a season game overseas.. especially when football in another country is different from the football here. They should do this during the pre-season if they really want to promote the sport.

I totally agree with you let NFL stay in America where it belongs I would not like to go all the way across the ocean just to see a game.

I have a problem the game over there sucked. But other than that, I think it's cool. We call the winners of the Super Bowl "World Champions" why not play a game a season outside the US?

I don't mind them playing preseason games outside of the US, but regular season games should not be played elsewhere. And definitely not the Super Bowl.

it is stupid to play a game in Europe like that... they've got Soccer and they love it like we love Football.... so leave them be, and let us watch some good ole gridiron smashmouth football!

Yeah, it's pretty unnecessary in my opinion. Let's keep it in North America, people in other countries have televisions.
