its interesting to note that in the modern world where less and less fans are actually going to games, and find the at home or bar experience to be the better deal. the nfl insists on shipping games overseas instead of just growing the sport the way they grow it here in the US, on TV

basically, the nfl is greatly inconveniencing the teams and players, and pissing off their usual fan base with games that start early in the morning, when the proof out there shows the game woud be better spread by showing it on prime time TV
