NFL ain't so NFL anymore?

[The mOBSCENE]

The only thing I don't like about out of country games are that neither of the two teams playing in a different country have home field advantage nor do that teams REAL fans get to go out and watch the game in person.

Although, your quote is 110% true about football.

Can you name one played in the NHL who is playing for free or donating his check to a charity? I doubt it, people do what they do for income! Of all of the pro sports, the NHL is likely the one that will disappear first, since it is making next to no profits!

Now, back to the topic. The NFl plays out of market games to see where their fan bases are. I agree with Mobscene to the fact that it does suck to have no "Homefield advantage", but that is the preice you pay to try to open up to other markets!

As to Pan's comments on "things that are not broken should not be fixed". Do you realize that over the past 100 years, rules in all sports have changed in one way or another. Baseball has brought the outfield walls in to increase scores. The NBA added a shot clock to speed up the game. The same goes for the NFL. Without going into a long, drawn out post, rules are forever changing and so will locations! It is a matter of opening borders and improving the quality of the product. If things never change, they become dull and boring!

There's a difference between making a living and playing for money. NHL players are the toughest athletes in the world, not to mention they make the smallest amount.

Hockey players ain't **** compared to Rugby players. Hell, they ain't **** compared to most NFL players.

I'm not a huge hockey fan but I will side with him on this. I mean look at all sports besides the obvious of boxing and UFC. Hockey has so many fights the checking the hitting there's always a fight. I think after hockey lacrosse is the second toughest

Rugby doesn't have **** on hockey. I would much rather be hit by a rugby player than a hockey player with a ton of extra weight traveling three times as fast.

Football players tough? LMFAO. They play 16 games a year, have entirely different sides of a team. Hockey players play the entire game, 82 times a season.
