NFL Global Market Program

[Zero2Cool]

What the heck is this all about? I see your "team" is mentioned though.

I see that your little "team" isn't.

Not really complicated. Those teams were approved to market in those areas by the NFL, they had the get approval but if an NFL team can't put together a marketing proposal there is a problem.

NFL realizes it's too difficult to get from GB to most places outside USA, you need to bus it to O'hare to get an international flight.

UK makes a ton of sense, but Spain???

Shocked Germany is not on the list...or do Da Bears already own that market?

Imagine trying to market a team called the "Packers" in any language but English.

It barely makes sense in English.

I'm having a hard time understanding why the Rams would be given China all to themselves.

EDIT: The Rams also share Oceania with the Eagles, and get Mexico.

How does that possibly work?

They don't have many fans in their own city/state. Gotta get em from somewhere!

Good question. Heavy Asian influence on the West Coast, so that part of it makes sense. But I'd also think that the 49ers, Seahawks, etc should be on that list.

I suppose, but gifting 1.5 billion to one team doesn't quite seem right for a league that loves to talk parity.

Maybe the Bears can get all of India.

Maybe the Packers can get a Global Marketing Program for Bemidji?

In regards to this comment, I gotta say it's super great to be a fan of a team that is one vowel swap away from being Peckers.

Separately, what the heck kind of mascot can you have? The name is from ACME (I actually worked for the company that bought the beef plant) where they were meat packers.

I think they fall into the "International" phrasing simply because they have one direct flight to Canada. Maybe. I never understood it. Anytime I've flown out of here, I've had to go to Chicago, Detroit or Minneapolis before reaching my Final Destination. Yet, it's called "International".

The link I provided (found within the link you sent) mentions nothing about a flight to Canada, only places in the United States. In fact, it specifically mentions how the airport is perfect for connecting flights.

It is such a lame backstory for team name, but they just sucked at it a hundred years ago.

There used to be a football team named the Dayton Triangles.

The Chicago White Sox were originally the White Stockings.

The New York Knickerbockers is brain fried on cocaine stupid.

....and Green Bay Packers just sounds made up....

....like they are the Washington Generals of the NFL..
