Nfl In London Case Study

The NFL is always trying to expand its’ brand. They have played exhibition games in Canada, Mexico, Australia, Japan, Spain and a few other countries. There is talk now that the NFL is interested in putting a franchise over in London. Any team that is located in London is a horrible idea. That team in London would cause so much disorder.

They have grown up all of their lives with soccer and it will always be their passion. And the American players will be reluctant to leave the United States to play for a London team. There would not enough talent for that London team. The NFL is not ready to have a team
