American Football in London

[Mr Grumpy]

I am in the UK and have watched the NFL on and off since 1981, over those years the NFL has tried again and again to launch the sport but with no success, in my circle of friends i know of no other NFL fan and when i ask why people don't watch it the usual answers are- lack of coverage, the game is too slow with too many ad breaks, the rules are too complicated, the amount of padding is considered a big joke! The amount of times i have heard "under all that is a 140lb weakling" :rolleyes:

So i don't believe it will ever catch on, the odd game we get maybe a sell out, but that is hard core fans who are not enough to keep the sport going year on year.
