NFL games in China? It could happen by 2018, according to report

Dear God, why?
China is one of the most polluted countries on earth, playing a game there will expose players to so many carcinogens.

Because Mr. Goodell will continue to ruin the game any way he can ...

Except his predecessor was working towards the same thing. If that narrative works for ya keep running with it, no matter how little sense it makes I guess though.

It's always such a constructive part of nearly every NFL thread.

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

The point is that China is one of the most polluted countries on the face of the earth, & it exposes the players to toxic carcinogens. But, when you have an entity that puts money over the health of its players, what else would you expect?

 

[cosmo_kramer]

The point is that those few days the teams will spend in the best part of the country will not harm them.

Serious question. Are you related to Goodell?

 

[meStevo]

No. I just don't lose my mind when talking about him.

They deny the existence of CTE. What's a little smog compared to that?

Every game played overseas steals income from stadium (and other) employees here in this country. For that reason alone it annoys me.

I just think he and the league are being really hypocritical with this China game.

They are threatening Georgia to not award Atlanta the Superbowl because of some law.

But they have zero reservations about playing a game in communist China?

And what part would that be? Even Beijing is heavily polluted.

Leave it to you to be more concerned about a little pollution for a few days than China's deplorable human rights record.

I'm not the one trying to set up a game in China, Goodell & the NFL are. You're "preaching to the choir" with me on human rights, but the NFL cares more about dollar signs than human rights.

Edit: China, along with Vietnam, are also responsible for the potential mass extinction of wildlife in Africa, & for the extinction of wildlife already in Asia. I could give you a long list of the things wrong with China, INCLUDING human rights violations.

Did you happen to notice that it DIDN'T happen in the last term ....
Hmmm, wonder why ... because NO ONE wants it.

If the NFL wants to piss off the teams, they will keep trying it.
The fans of the teams can't go, they lose a home game.
The people over there don't care about the game.

If you tell the Chinese that a football is called a "pigskin," they'll want to know if you can eat it. The Chinese will eat anything with four legs, except for a table, & anything that flies, except for a plane(this is their own words & their own saying).

Except I am pretty sure many in Beijing probably know what an american football is. I think you've mistaken this thread for something in the pit, because you usually save this garbage for there.

They reportedly have teams volunteering. The NFL , Goodell, and the teams are the same thing in this case... BTW.

From what I've read the 2008 China game was cancelled to focus on London. Surely the economy had a hand in it also.

What do you know of the NFL's popularity in China, since you state a fact about it?

But until someone brought it to your attention, all you had was a nonsensical rant about pollution. Typical...

What's your point?
Edit: I thought you had me on ignore.

I thought England was a bad idea. This takes the cake.
