If he was in front of me I'd slap him down This has no bearing on playing more games overseas ... it's a marketing gimmick. Letting us UK Jets fans travel to London to watch Jets games together, waving Nick Mangold at us from time to time. Yay us. If anything it means that, as games get scheduled in Germany and elsewhere, the Jets will still play in London for their once-in-eight-years "home" game. Germany is +1 hour vs UK. It's also not just the Jets, pretty much every team is involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Integrity28 Posted December 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2021 The behind the scenes pissing matches amongst owners over this was probably HBO series worthy. Absolutely meaningless to anyone and everyone which country ignores the NFL, but the owners have assuredly been at war with each other over who gets one - because that's what old farts with too much power and money do. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of words there, that don’t really mean much. I wonder if this is a precursor to moving the team there. Every team was awarded rights for international marketing in other countries as a "home region". It's Goodell dictating to the world which teams other countries get told they can root for—but really its territorial expansion from a marketing standpoint. I would guess 100% that the owners that lined the right pockets were awarded the regions where data suggests higher affinity and spend for the NFL in general. Everyone else got places like India and China. If the Jets or Jags are moved, it'll be more for isolated reasons. All that said... Our best case scenario as Jets fans is for Woody to sell to some rich European. At that point, the team is remade and becomes respectable and a joy to root for — or it's more of the same and the location change gives us a pass on ending our relationship with this dog's ass franchise and we get to pick new teams! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we didn't exactly kick their ass, but we did wear them down. Still got a belly laugh though. The only thing the Jets need now is a Greek letter. The Brits will need to wear masks and social distance just to see them play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was in front of me I'd slap him down Didn't realize at first this was league wide .... But in that case its a dumb ass league wide decision as these travel times do take a toll on players and with all the injuries we have seen this year you can expect it to get worse because players that a fatigued or tired due to excessive travel are certainly prone to injury. We've seen it with the effect east west coast trips have on players for years so what does the stupid ass NFL think these longer trips will do ? Obviously its the Money this generates and that's transcends the so called concern about Injury it presents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 How could we get rid of Woody Johnson. Let me count the ways, probably none unless he decides to sell the team. But here is an improbable kind of theory, not going to happen but just thought I'd toss it out. A few years back there were rumors the Jets were going to move to LA. It was a market with no teams and these were just rumors. It was around the time the Jets were exploring building their own stadium on the West Side after Woody bought the team. We all know that new stadium in Manhattan went nowhere and Woody settled on sharing Met Life with the Giants. So what if Woody decided to move the team to London. And then the league awarded New York an expansion franchise. And like the Browns after they moved to Baltimore gave the naming rights to the expansion team so there would be a New York Jets without Woody.

FTL Jet Fan Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 What a surprise, how much marketing has been taken place so far with the Jets in London. We already have Jets UK all over social media. This is the lube before insertion. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the 2 most populated countries on the planet. I was shocked that only one team wanted rights to China. I was not surprised that one team was the Rams. They have an actual visionary as an owner. The Rams have rights not only in China, but Mexico and Australia too (also the only team there). That's called having a long view. If the NFL ever becomes half as popular in China as the NBA is, it's a license to print money. UK has prestige, but as a market, it's not nearly the opportunity those other markets provide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
