The NFL's Outreach To Outside/Foreign Markets

Who does'nt love watching football, the spectrum of emotions that are on display by the players, fans in the stadiums and if your like me in the living room. It is easy to imagine how much money the NFL makes annually from merchandise, to advertising contracts, to game tickets. How could they possibly make more...Outside Markets of course, the NFL has officially been considering adding an outside of the United States football franchise. This has been prompted by the incredible respons by fans of the European Football League which is now disbanded and the NFL games played at Wimbley Stadium in London, and now the Buffalo Bills seem to be winning over the Canadian crowd in the Rodgers Centre in Toronto. Canadian fans have always migrated to the Bills games over the border in Buffalo, NY but now there is a buzz every game that feels mre and more like a REAL NFL GAME. Comissioner Goodell has said that he could see an out of US ball club join the league sooner rather than later, but first they need to get the NFLPA and Owners/League to create a new Bargaining contract so there isnt a lockout in 2011, we will see but with the talk of out of state clubs and an 18 game season, whats not to love. Give me your Opinion in the comments.
