Super Bowl in London in 2014?

[TheGuyFromOverThere]

I, as a German and European, whose chances of attending a Superbowl in England would be much higher than attending a Superbowl in the U.S. of a A. say: screw that idea. A reg season game is enough, way more anyone could´ve hoped for. But the superbowl belongs only to the home country. Period!

I am considering writing polite but angry letters both to the NFL and to Danny.

While im sure the game would sellout, make ton of money(blah blah blah), i don't really consider football an international sport as in the players and viewerbase is like 99 percent usa. I could see this concept work in other sport(basketball, hockey, baseball) where clearly the players and fans are more diverse.

Even after saying that i could care less where they play it, the average fan doesnt go to the superbowl, and the one who can travel before across the united states wherever can prob go across the seas with np to see game too.

It's the biggest annual sporting event in our country. Period. To ship this overseas would be amazingly retarded.

99% is a bit high nowadays where there are a lot of leagues outside U.S. Yes, the best of them could maybe compete at low college/highschool level, but you shouldn´t underestimate the amount of players and fans outside of the U.S.A. I would even get as far as I´d estimate that it pretty much equals out on pure amateurs (meaning players outside schools and pro-leagues).

Your right they're are lot of international football leagues, in fact i just read an article bout a Chinese allstar team that subbed in players from another area to gain an advantage. I was talking bout players in the NFL and actual hardcore fans of the NFL.
