Will the Bears vs Raiders Game feel like a Bears home game for the Bears when the Bears play Raiders in London?

[HeHateMe]

1. Yes

2. Bears have an international fanbase advantage due to the 1985 team

3. The UK historically HATES piracy, and the Raiders are literally a team named after pirates

4. Tackling is a big thing in the UK because of their version of football: Rugby. The Bears D features superior tackling.

5. I've seen a lot more UK fans on this messageboard than on other team messageboards. And a few appear to be actually going to the game!

The entire "Let's play NFL games in Jolly Old England to broaden it's international appeal" idea can bite me.

Novels are best suited for nerdy scifi shit. Which supposedly you're decent at writing.

Not bad bears thoughts on an obscure sports message board.

THANKS

6. Fun Fact: @bearmick is not only a diehard Bears fan, he also has UK citizenship, so will be routing as usual for the Bears win as a Bear fan and as a British person.

Hold on, the English are very fond of pirates, they would employ them to work on behalf of the crown. So much of their current state is due to having been invaded by pirates who later became kings.

What they hated was when pirates stole from them, and that was pretty much just the wealthy. Poor English people were far more likely to be pirates than hate pirates.

That's a pretty gross generalization of poor British people. Are you sure you want to turn this into a political thread?

Ask any British person - had they the opportunity, would they rather be a pirate or a not-pirate? Pretty sure they'll all choose pirate.

Obviously Mack taking the ball to the house after a strip sack, and a futile attempt by the hapless Carr to tackle him.

Looks like Mack is catching a ball on a sideline fly route and somehow Carr got relegated to play DB....

 

[Xuder O'Clam]

Is that Mandingo Mitch behind Mack?
