Personally I want to see federal legislation if cities or counties pay for stadiums they get the percentage of money for tickets sold. You pay 6 billion for a 7 billion stadium. You get ⁸³ percent or whatever it is of the ticket cost.
For new teams. Ir would probably be all European. [Reply]

The strategy would be really cool. You probably wouldn't want to rest players too early in the season, because ideally you'll hold their individual byes for if they get injured. But if you wait too late, you might end up having to rest players in critical games with playoff implications. And how many starters can you rest against a team like the Panthers or Patriots before you're taking an unacceptable risk of a loss?
You rest all your stars against a non conference team late and just take the loss.
Or you get a backdoor agreement to play your second string against their second string. [Reply]

Then I’d be forced to watch meaningful Chiefs games without Mahomes at QB and I don’t like that at all [Reply]

NBA already did. They went woke with Marks stupid ass and lost billions. [Reply]

London is a HUGE city and between the Brits that like American football and American servicemen, and ex-pats, a team in London would draw plenty of interest.
The problem is the travel. I'm not sure they could make it work without at least an entire division in Europe. I think I read something a while back about the return of supersonic air service to Europe. That might make it workable, but still the travel to and from the west coast to Europe would be brutal.
