NFL Europe failed (I think) so they're trying to build the sport up abroad. Everybody here thinks its dumb for basically the same reasons I said before that it was dumb, plus the season ticket thing that you mentioned. With the season tickets, we have to buy PSL (Personal Seat License) then buy the tickets themselves (Carolina Panthers - $50+. My uncle has seats that are middle of the upper deck in the corner of the end zone), then if they take a home game away...it can be frustrating. As far as the NBA is concerned...I don't know many people that actually care at all what the NBA does. As far as I'm concerned they can pack up shop like ProElite, as long as it doesn't affect NCAA basketball (unfortunately it probably would). Also you asked about NHL, they're really struggled with the finances lately. A couple years ago, only a few teams were making money, that's changed since the lock out and reneg on the contract with the players association. The Carolina Hurricanes were at a net combined loss from the time they moved here until they won the Stanley Cup, that playoff season finally caught them up on everything, as far as I know. (I think) They've been making money since then. In the US the only national carrier they have a deal with is Versus, which only has 1/3-1/2 the market of ESPN. Us and Chuck,

Now if they did a club competition involving certain teams off season that would not be so bad as it does not affect the League the NFL should have done this in Europe IMO that way it would de value season. Gotta go now as i'm getting ready to Watch Super Zab on the Under card of Joe Calzaghe slapping his way to a UD over Jones Jnr :) Indeed T3 yes it will :)

Nothing has been signed yet T3 although personally i hope not no offence Richard "The Idiot" Scudamore The Chief Executive of the F.A. Premier League is adamant fans from the UK should be proud and enjoy the experience of League football abroad.......as this idiot heard of the credit crunch ? Sepp Blatter head of Fifa has said the proposals are "an abuse of association football authority" and they can say goodbye to an English World Cup bid. I'm not too upset yet as my team Wolverhampton Wanderers have not reached the Premiership yet although it is looking highly likely we will as we have been so dominate so far in our League this season :) LOL Vinz at least you still have Curling :)

Dunno what season it will be, but i am pretty sure they are bringing them here..

For me it really is insulting to real fans including season ticket holders who pay over the odds any way. What is the opinion in the States on what the NFL & NBA has done ? Justin@
