NFL folds NFL Europe so they can concentrate more on Europe. What??

The NFL has decided to fold it's developmental league in Europe, 'NFL Europa,' so that the league could concentrate on it's regular season NFL games in Europe.

What? Can someone explain to me how this makes sense?

NFL Europe was a failure, losing $30 million a year and generating negligible interest overall. After starting with 10 teams in countries such as The U.K., Spain and Germany, the league ended with 6 teams, 5 of which were located in Germany. The 6th team was located in The Netherlands.

So after this stunning track record of success in Europe, the NFL has decided to try and generate interest in the game by robbing U.S. fans and taking regular season games over-seas.

In order to appease U.S. fans who are angry over losing home games to people who don't give a shit about the NFL or American Football, the NFL is considering adding a 17th game to the regular season schedule.

Fucking brilliant. Sometimes I hate the NFL.

I can understand that the league wants to expand to new markets, blah blah blah. Show me the money it's all about the quan, etc etc. but if the NFL wants to play games in Europe, play some pre-season games there, games that don't mean anything.

Don't rob U.S. fans and teams of home games and don't fuck up a teams regular season schedule / routine so you can try to generate interest in a place where nobody really cares about the game...

Stupid NFL.

Back before the Berlin Wall fell, the U.S. Military bases in Europe had Semi-Pro teams. As many Germans would come out to watch as Americans. Not so much in Britain and Spain.

What was hard for the players, were they had waivers for their weight while in Europe and playing. When the moved commands...all of a sudden the gridiron heroes were "fat boys" and had to lose the weight fast.

Huh?
