Do you think the NFL should end NFL Europe and start an NFL Developmental League in the US?

No, NFL Europe is a great exposure tool for the league to to showcase the game to a new market.\n\nBesides, there already is a developmental league in the US ... it's called Division I college football and it doesn't cost the league a dime.

So tired of this question... \n\nWhy is the rest of the world so insecure because Americans have a game that is more fun than soccer and decided to call it football.  I'm thinking of starting a petition to change the official name of the American sport from football to:\n"THE GREATEST GAME IN THE WORLD AND TONS BETTER THAN DUMB STUPID SOCCER BALL"  \nWe'll still call it football for short though and insist that persons from Europe must call it by it's formal name.  Anyone want to sign up?  \n\nIf you are really interested in how American football got it's name, see the link below.  Everything you ever wanted to know.

Not soon!  Paul Tagliabue, NFL Commisioner is eager to to get a team in L.A. but he will soon retire.\n\nTagliabue has told the 32 team owners that unless a plan for Los Angeles is formulated soon, getting a team back into the nation's second-largest market won't occur by the end of the decade. For now, a six-man committee is handling the issue.

Yea, I think it needs to be included..\n\nI think they should have a college sports category, that would cover football, basketball and other college sports\n\nLets make it happen!!

For the viewer, it nearly is year-round.  You've got NFL, NCAA, Arena Football, Canadian league, and I think the European league is still going too.  You can follow spring training and recruiting and the draft in what little off-season there is.\n\nBut if you had steak and lobster every single day, wouldn't you eventually get sick of it?  Better that it has its time - makes us appreciate it more.

its a b or c division in any other country. the fact that it still exists makes the league a success. the u.s.a. is a brutal sportsmarket costing millions and billions of dollars. it is an oversaturated market vying for entertainment dollars. i don't believe soccer in the u.s. will ever hit the level of passion that u see everywhere else in the world. why? that would be a great research paper.

I thinkso it would be a good idea. Maybe there would eb too many games but International footabll should have more agmes anda european laegue would be really good to watch. (Doubt England will win it though)

I'm with you.  Let's demand some variety.  This started way back when Tom Landry was coaching Dallas and they were the class of the League.  No longer true.

No way, the games are long enough! I think that would change the dynamic of the game too much, but I do think it needs to be in football!

i think thats not possible in next 50 years, bec. footbal related with economy much. if asian echonmy and culture develop as europe, football can rise to the same level, also development of football related with culture

no.  why should it.  World Cup team won't go that far, there is no interest in it professionally here, and there is too much competition for the sports person's attention between football, baseball, basketball, NASCAR, hockey, golf, tennis, etc.\n\nSoccer is a distant thought for most people.

I completely agree!  College football is just filled with passion and desire.  Once they get to the NFL it seems like the heart is gone.  I would enjoy a separate college area.

Yes! I thinks so too! This is a great sport to get people from all nations together and just celebrate the sport, and for get about conflicts and skin color and religion. If there wouldn't be the Hooligans around everywhere...\nI love to watch it and I wish I could be in Germany right now and be happy with the teams that win and celebrate with the fans!\nWorld peace would be great, I thinks its a temporary peace though...

Seeing that basketball has already garnered considerably more international fame than football, it won't be much longer.\n\n      Young kids and grown people both love basketball. And not just america, but around the world. although since football is one of those anchor pastime sports, it will probably take a few more years. But if the NBA continues to showcase great young players and climatic seasons like just last year, then it might be sooner than most people think.

I agree. It feels like there is a void that NFL, Arena Football, and NFL can't fill. The CFL is a  Canadian institution, and I miss it every year during the off-season. Especially cause I know that so much will change until the next season starts, both in my own personal life and in the CFL itself. My team the Riders will certainly be making some drastic changes, and my other team the Stamps will tinker as well. \n\nPlus, the CFL off-season is so long... 7 months. That's more than half a year.

It would just go on the same, the Welsh and Irish leagues manage ok. People would just go to their local team.\nScottish football might actually get a boost!

No. And I hope they never will. Let them stick to their ripoff games.\n\nAmerican Football (????why football???) is almost the same as Rugby League.
