    As I said in another thread, they should have certain NFL teams only send players to one Europa team, which would create a bond between franchises and have continuity.

    I know what happened to the league. I was making a joke. The premise of the joke was centered around the fact that no one in America cares about... Oh never mind.

    But the primary purpose of the NFL Europe was to establish american football in Europe, not to create just a minor league.

    I understand that, also. I'm saying, since it seems to have taken to some extent, especially if Wayne Huizenga is proposing four games a year in London, is an actual NFL minor league stateside would be feasible.

    NFL Europa stadiums were filled with Americans & Canadians. A few of my friends went down this season for a month long trip, they saw 3 games and all the games they attended more then 70% of the crowd was North American.

    That's the biggest bullcrap I've ever heard of. 95% are Germans and 5% of the cards went to the US armed forces FOR FREE

    I don't think my friends would lie, let alone some of my German Ancestors who annually went to Centurion games. And if 95% of the crowds were Germans the league would still be in existence.

    Why would I trust a guy online I don't even know? I would throw lifetime friends aside and family members for some person online who could lie about supporting a team for 10+ years? And maybe 95% of the Galaxy crowd is German, but I know for sure the other teams don't have the privilege to say that.
