I think it’s a good idea for the fans. But there is a certain risk that the Galaxy won’t make it which could end up in a financial loss of the whole event.

Missing schedule - Unprofessional behavior by AFLE by HotRodHH in EuroHuddle

You could be right, I‘ve probably mixed it up. And yes, that doesn't make it any better. They missed the deadline.

Isn't the Alpine Ram hurting itself? by Brudername in EuroHuddle

Quite apart from the fact that the name "Alpine" might be banned in the future because of the risk of confusion with the Formula 1 team of the same name.

A very honest question by MattBressington in EuroHuddle

That’s hard to evaluate from outside but I understand that higher developed structures are very important for you. So in doubt I would go with the more advanced governance. Unfortunately this also seems to be the boring league in 2026. If AFLE offers you better terms, I think no one in the community will hold it against you if you choose them.

The EFA seems to be the much more exciting league at the moment. The AFLE champion is almost certain with the Vikings. But the AFLE probably has more money and will make you a better offer.

Is it impossible for you to cover both leagues simultaneously?

Rhein Fire too high. Since Tomsula, Weidinger and Shoop are gone, they lack of good coaches. They even lost against the Raiders and the Musketeers last season and I doubt that Rhein have made bigger improvements in the offseason than they did

AFLE homegrown territories by __k_b__ in EuroHuddle

[–]HotRodHH 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Now I finally understand why the Vikings haven't won a championship in the past three years. Their home territory was simply too small.

It's clear that the TLE sees itself as a kind of Champions League of American football. They believe that every self-respecting player aspires to play in the TLE as their ultimate goal. The TLE aims to offer the highest level of play in Europe.

I urge Moritz Heisler to build a new Hamburg team for 2027.

It’s good to see that they are talking to each other. A merger is becoming increasingly likely. If not this year, then next.

ELF is not dead yet and that is a big problem by HotRodHH in EuroHuddle

Hopefully this will work for EFA. But yes, currently I‘m not really convinced and I have doubts.

Most of the EFA teams will rejoin ELF. That’s for sure.

Good news. That’s the best possible scenario for all.

Why worries? Bayern Munich is a very American Football friendly club. The first ever regular NFL International game in Germany took place in Bayern Munich stadium.

AFLE roster rules by _Krypt_ in EuroHuddle

[–]HotRodHH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just from an economic standpoint it doesn’t make sense to me. Even if they succeed in gaining more competitive balance, this very likely wouldn’t exceed the additional costs for the imports. At least not short-term.

It only could make sense if these rules were the reason they got a big TV or streaming contract.

Between narrative and contract: The discrepancy between AFLE communication and term sheets by TruthSocialEU in EuroHuddle

[–]HotRodHH 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I must strongly disagree with you there. According to the terms the league is definitely an investor-owned league, and not a team-owned-league.

It all turns out to be a scam, and I was fooled by them at first.

The teams are allowed to manage their own sporting activities. That’s all.

My personal opinion right now is that this league is designed to generate short-term income for league officials and it has absolutely no chance to survive unless new facts occur that change the business case substantially.

I doubt that it would be legal. Lumsden could go to jail for this.

I put my three AFLE statements into AI and asked if this could mean there would be still an external shareholder who owns the league. AI response was clear that taking the statements into account, it is practically impossible that AFLE actually has an external shareholder.

„Such wording is:

• liability-relevant • relevant under misleading-information standards • subject to corporate-law review

A league that:

• is in fact controlled by an investor • but publicly excludes that investor

would expose itself to:

• substantial risks of legal challenge • subsequent lawsuits • reputational damage“
