NFL regular season games Abroad?

[ubecool454]

Is this a good thing or bad thing. If I was a Fins fan this year I would feel liked i was robbed. I could be wrong but I just don't like the idea of the NFL playing regular season games abroad. These games belong to the fans that helped make the NFL what it is today. If those foreigners want to watch NFL football, let them get direct tv. I watch the NFL Europe games played in front of a lot of empty seats. All that shows is that soccer is still king worldwide and we should keep our own great product to ourselves. Do i sound selfish?

To be fair, NFLE isn't exactly the same thing as the NFL, the talent levels are so far apart it's sad. It would be like trying to expand baseball in Zimbabwe, except giving them AA League games to watch (maybe even A Leauge games) instead of MLB games. The Europeans haven't seen real American Football yet, just the minor league. It doesn't surprise me that the NFLE teams keep having to move, I wouldn't want to watch 10 games of that stuff.
And on that topic, why don't we put an NFL game in Germany? The Germans are the only ones who like to watch NFLE (as evidenced by the fact that 5 out of the 6 teams are in Germany), I think they should be rewarded for being the only European country to really care about American Football.
