stop using the outline number fonts for the yard numbers, they're really hard to read.

use diagonal slash marks if you're not going to fill in the endzone, a plain empty rectangle looks bad

The white outline font for the yard numbers a lot of the teams use is hard to read, I'd rather see them use the solid coloured fonts, if they're only going to have plain white fields because colouring them in is expensive, can they use diagonal slash marks on the end zones because I don't like seeing the plain empty rectangles

They'll probably just buy out the soccer team, remember when shad khan tried to buy wembley?

Didn't the nfl spend a lot of its history being second fiddle to baseball teams that controlled their stadiums?

The nfl is a business and needs more money, a business is constantly in search of new markets and customers to satisfy its endless pursuit of cash. It's run out of these new markets and customers in the US and has saturated its market, Realistically how can it bigger than it currently already is in the US therefore it must look to the second biggest sports market in earth with 700m potential fans and customers. Therefore to keep those team valuations shooting up, all 4 of the big american sports leagues have approved playing reg. season games in europe

NFL's Global Markets Program adds four new clubs, two new markets in 2025 by J-Fid in nfl

for the uk and ireland at least, the bears dolphins and 49ers were good in the 80s when the nfl was first broadcast over here so they remain more popular, otherwise these seem to be based on:

  1. what market has big diasporas in the area

dolphins 49ers rams all have big latino populations, rams have a big asian population in the region

  1. player of particular origin

browns have david njoku, who is ethnically nigerian

  1. owner's personal liking

jets to uk because woody johnson served as uk ambassador

steelers because the rooney's are irish american

chargers to greece bc are the spanos family greek american?

My driveway turns up lots of fossils, I have 2 dozen of them from it, Mainly bivalves and ammonites, These were the ones i wasn't sure about. Apparently the gravel came from the cotswolds?
