Yeah, I agree. I think this idea is completely shitty. I just can not imagine an American who loves football thinking this is a good idea. Aside from the fact that this is taking two American football teams and taking them to another country for America's most beloved game of it's most beloved sport, think of how this hurts an American city that could benefit financially by having it be the host city for the Super Bowl. Don't we as a country give enough of our dollars away to foreign countries? Not to mention, the rare few who actually have the opportunity to attend the Super Bowl, this makes it 5x as hard now because of increased travel. Definitely, BAD IDEA!

I would bet my life that will not happen.
Who wants to have to schedule games 4 hours ahead of the East coast time zone/ 7 hours ahead of the West Coast?
What teams want to fly that far and have to haul all of their equipment?
Besides, don't all teams haul all of their equipment to games in trucks and not planes, except for the Pro Bowl and other European/Asian early season games?

Yeah, that time zone thing poses a real problem. Just like when the Olympics are in countries with huge time differences, no one watches them. Then they tape delay them and everyone knows what happens before hand. How would they get the big money sponsorships when they are showing NFL games at Noon EST, or 9am West Coast?

Don't be penurious, donate to the BP Spring Dr.
What possible advantage is there to play the SB in fucking Europa ?
Fuck that time zone. Fuck their pounds, and fuck soccer. They have the same chance of football succeeding there as they do soccer doing the same
here.
Stupid idea. Hell, regular season games there are a stupid idea.
I could live with Toronto if need be, but no way London.

The time difference wouldn't be an obstacle. London would be +6 hours if I remember correctly in February. The game would just have to kickoff around noon over there. Still don't like the idea though. I don't see how it would be beneficial enough to move the biggest sporting event of the year out of the country.

nfl europa averaged 20k fans a year in a shortened season as not to go head to head with the world cup.
