Bye, bye NFL Europe

[kepdawg]

NFL Europe is no more.

NFL is going to focus on international regular season games to further the global popularity of the league.

I would not be surprised if that happens in the next 2-3 years...NFL europe did give teams a place to put some players to see how they would do in game situations, and the only reason they are dropping it is because of the money..putting it in the US would make it cheaper

Arena football will become more of a minor league for the NFL and cost less

Maybe for receivers, but every other position it's a totally different game.

Yeah I'd have to agree. Not much the same anywhere else and even for the recievers the routes are alot different.

Also the technical name for the NFL Europe is NFL Europa.

I think Curt Warner proved QB's benefit
and I think DB's and other skill positions can benefit. There is still the CFL as well.

maybe the NFL should look into Mark Cuban's proposed summer league!

[Diocletian]

well get Vince and Mark to team up and make a good minor football league then

call it what ever they want just make it playable on a reg size field and put teams everywhere
