Is the NFL on the verge of causing its fans to suffer football fatigue?

    I literally said division games belong in the US and that's my red line, so obviously I'd have an issue with the Steelers/Ravens being played overseas.

    The NFL doesn't care about the fans at all the Rams and 49ers are opening the season in freaking Australia. It also screwed Steelers fans who live in the New Orleans area by having the game in Paris, who only get a chance to see the Steelers every 8 years. I saw a lot of complaining from them online.

    So yes, I think it's dumb for the Rams and 49ers to play each other in Australia. I've said as much when it was announced. But as for the Steelers and Saints playing in France, I'd much rather visit Paris than New Orleans.

    I dont know what thread I posted it in but there is a video of Schlereth talking about Rodgers but after that they get into this topic and they made a great point, the decisions arent being made for the old loyal fans of now, they are being made for future generations, the ones who have every streaming service and all this is just a way of life for them.

    And then I also believe gambling caters to a different fan, casuals that just love to gamble, same with fantasy football although that has been going on for a while. This will all keep people tuned in.

    So whoever said it here, you’re right, the NFL doesnt care about us fans, they’re thinking ahead.

    This. My old Bass player, and I talked about going to that game. He's a Saints fan. Now neither of us will go.

    Money ruined pro baseball and it is ruining pro football. But what other choices are there? The NFL is king right now and they're acting like kings doing whatever they want to make another nickel. I think people will start turning it off and find other pastimes.

    Yeah, but what about all the Steeler Fans in Europe that will be able to attend their first ever Steeler game?

    But, right now I would be worried about getting a fueled up jet back from Paris with the Jet Fuel Crisis currently happening over in Europe: Getting there should not be a problem, coming back though, your flight might get cancelled :)

    Funny, Right now I am looking at a repositioning cruise out of Rome 5 days later that would cost the same as my 1-way plane ticket back home out of Paris. I may be able to talk myself into this. :)

    October looks like a good month to take a slow boat ride back to Miami.
