Goodell can't be serious with that 1965 comment. Maybe the NFL wasn't king until then, but college football has had a significant presence in this country since the turn of the last century. Walter Camp's "All-American" team selections were big deals by around 1900. The game, in its high school, college, and pro variants, has tremendously deep roots here that have been spreading for about a hundred years all over the country.
So please, Commish, try to keep your BS to a minimum.
And I agree with the others here -- I don't really want to share our game, and I can't forsee any foreign countries, with the possible exception of Germany, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia, ever being able to produce consistently NFL-caliber players. So what's the friggin point.
