Yaknow ive been thinking lately, about everywhere i go all i hear about is the nfl.I love football and while never played past rec teams when i was a kid it's a great game.I also like all the other sports from F1 racing (i know that some people dont think it's a sport) to soccer epl duke hoops ect.

People always talk about the big picture is the nfl is king and maybe they are right for our little pocket in the world. but truth be told i like baseball and college hoops just as much and to be honest baseball and basketball are going global and the nfl has failed in that regard.

The main rule in capitalism is that you have to keep finding ways to grow.Well where is the nfl going to go?Are they going to have 30 games one day and have a team in every state?I just don't see how it's going to keep growing i mean the rest of the world doesn't like it really and Canada has their own cfl with it's own rules.Maybe buying out the x league in japan is a start.

You might say "hey why does it matter"well it matters because when you see all the soccer leagues in the world it's awesome that they all play for the champions league and also try to play in their own leagues.I wish our football could be like that someday.

But the market will one day if not already be saturated and the prices will be worse than they are already.I don't know just a thought for a rainy day.

While I grasp your ponderings, the wear and tear of Americian football limits the amount of games the elite athlete can play a year and expect a career of it. So expansion has to occur with "lesser" talents and that tends to fail. NFL Europe didn't work but so far standard NFL overseas games have soldout.

It's about the product that can be put on the field with the talent left over.
