Steelers Playing In Ireland 2025

Aren't we suppose to have 9 home games next season..don't tell me we giving up a home

 

For the beach we get a house that allows dogs and take them

For other long trips my sister in law needs the money so she stays at our house and we pay her instead of a kennel

Plus she likes staying at our place in the country rather than her apartment

And recently we found a house sitter if need be and she has been great

 

It wouldn’t be great, but it fits better with my work schedule.

 

Now is keyword.


They should have done it a lot sooner is my point. If the League had started off all of this a lot sooner, they could be seeing even more money. Given how Live Streaming Services took off in the mid 2010s, that should have been the time the NFL should have hammered out deals across other emerging markets as opposed to playing it safe.

 

True.


However, my point pertains to the ratings and interest being a lot higher had the NFL showcased more interest and invested a lot more into Live Streaming World Wide. Remember that the first ever one was done back on October 25th, 2015. The NFL's desire for expansion should have taken place the year after via Live Streaming Games across multiple countries.

 

What were the options then?? Not saying they could not have brought them along sooner with investment, but even a couple of years ago the Amazon Thursday games were horrific at the beginning. The more recent games on netflix and other streams also had issues. Now if THEY (NFL) had moved, or encouraged the Networks that this was a huge part of the future of broadcasting, it may have went quicker and smoother. On one hand communications has moved at record speeds, on the other traditional operators have been slow to catch on, or up with it.

Kind of reminds me of the start of cable networks, ESPN was there, but was carrying BMX bike racing and other amateur sports. When they started to gel they became major players.

 

The options were to continue to improve upon the service; something the NFL did do. However, not casting a wider net is something that confuses me. Given how the NFL enjoys its ratings and revenue, I was under the impression at the time that Live Streaming + The International Series would have been the perfect one two punch after the conclusion of the 2015 season. Turns out I was wrong.


Again, I am happy that the NFL is finally going Global but dear god man... took a helluva long ass time to get there.
