I believe
that the globalization of the NFL would be a positive move for the sport of
football in general. Spreading the sport of American football (unlike its same
named counterpart in other various parts of the would, ‘futball’) would
increase revenue for the NFL immensely. Globalization of the NFL would increase
revenue because it would increase accessibility for fans outside of the United
States who have much more access to watch the sport. Fans want to see what they
pay for. If fans are wishing to buy jersey’s, they are much more likely to buy
the jersey of the player whom they watched make the game winning touchdown.
While American football is not non-existent in Europe and other countries, it
fails in comparison to quality of play as well as the quality of said sport
players. I believe that the NFL should keep its base in America, and perhaps
have a one regular-season game in a different country each year. It would be
simply too tiring and time consuming, not to mention unfair to the players and
their families to keep them moving from country to country each game.
While London is known quite
well for being able to produce
quality fans in other
sports such as soccer and tennis, I believe
it would only be appropriate
to have NFL teams play there
once a year, maybe moving
locations each year allowing a wide
array of audience for the
American based sport. In conclusion, I
believe that the NFL have
good intention in having games held
outside
of the U.SA, but they must be very limited for the sake of the players, fans,
and families alike.
