Anyway anything that helps draw attention away from the use of the word "World" for what is a domestic league has got to help. If we are seeing a resurgence of interest in American football in Europe then I am all for it. I followed Chicago back in the day of the Fridge and that culminated in my mates choosen team the Patriots getting some serious arse kicking. That was a period of interest for the Europe which eventually ended up with the NFL Europe but it all fizzled out. |
To be fair, though, the NFL Europa league was essentially a second-tier farm league. There's a reason it didn't catch on...No one of worth played in it. The NFL is talking about a real team, with a real draft. I'd think that such a team would make for it catching on better than what NFL Europe did.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
