Krafts want to own more teams, NFL to invade Europe

[pork3]

I think the CFL would be pissed. Several years ago (1994-95- the CFL expanded into several US cities, some even in the south, and the NFL was pissed.

Baltimore, Shreveport, Memphis, Birmingham, Las Vegas, San Antonio.

Or

Well, after living here in Europe for over 20 years (and Pats fan for over 40) I know that (American) football is not the most popular. This is not just because of other alternatives like soccer which kids play because its so easy to play (no equipment needed and any ball wil do) there is also the culture too. Kids don't get exposed to the sport which leads to little interest at later ages. The knowlege of the sport is very low and most people are confused when trying to grasp the sport at the begining.
The NFL needs to start sponsering youth programs over here. Get the kids involved, the ones who will play or pay to watch the game in the near future. I am a peewee coach and find it very difficult to fill my roster. We need to get the schools involved so people actually know about the sport.
