Is Jed trying to obfuscate America's child labor laws?

All jokes aside, I'm just not seeing the value in these overseas games. Exposure? The NFL brand can't be any better known! First London, now China? China for what? Besides, China will probably filter out the game from public viewing anyway. The cheerleaders will be too scantily clad for China's "government", and the people may become too influenced by western culture

Weak! The NFL is getting silly with this. Yet I fully understand it feom a business perspective. Fk yeah more money on their pockets. While we get fkd.
Meh... The NFL has been trending towards a supreme weird fkn mold.
The fall of the pro bowl (a draft pick process by old stars? Sure). The Splash Color games, games every Thursday night, London games, then mexico city, china now... Lol Japan here come! Idk I'm sure no more kickoffs will become permanent soon. Two hand touch the QB is not far away lol

I think this is a great idea...for the Raiders, SEA, DAL, Pitts...etc. Just NOT us. We already have the most miles travelled for 2017. Why do this? Oh, yeah, NFL money, but if I owned a team, I would never offer to go abroad to play.

We do seem to be the designated long distance team. The NFLPA should demand first class style accommodations, you know with real beds,maybe personal masseuse, showers, etc. on all overseas flights longer than 6 hours. That might change how the NFL schedules this crap.
