Well I don't think the EL was ever really meant to be a huge profit maker. Rather, it was meant to cultivate an interest and understanding in the sport overseas while also functioning as a minor league. I think it accomplished that to an extent.

But from what I've heard the NFL is ready to start marketing its actual product to Europe, while maybe setting up a minor league in the states where it would have a chance of actually making money. I think JLC talks about this on his blog.
