The National Football League has decided against staging a second game in the UK in 2010, blaming uncertainty over its collective bargaining agreement with players and global economic factors. Earlier this month, NFL UK managing director Alistair Kirkwood said two teams had "agreed conceptually" to play home games in Britain this year. But in a statement on Sunday, the NFL said: "Playing one game in the UK is a significant investment. Playing a second game is an even bigger investment. As we considered this, the uncertainty related to the ongoing CBA discussions linked to the current global economic climate were critical factors in our decision not to play a second game in the UK. Our ambition to bring a second game to the UK is as strong as ever. Once the current uncertainty is resolved, we will be in a strong position to bring multiple games to our UK fanbase."

NFL UK managing director? wonder how much this guy is making for being in charge of 1 football game a year.
Every team will have a home game in London in 5-10 years. I already told you so. And the NFL will never turn to Mexico again :icon_evil:
Alistair Kirkwood has become a complete asshat since he got the first game. He's been sleeping on the job ever since. **********Automerged Doublepost********** He also spends his day thinking up new ideas of how to piss off the fans as well.
