    Here, let me google that for you

    Look, its you that insisted there was numbers. Why the fuck would I waste my time attempting to proving your point for you?

    The NFL make around $55 million dollars per international game

    Okay, I thought we were talking bums on seats/eyeballs on screens. Not that I dont think revenue is a good metric, but if you compared that to the revenue of local football clubs you’d see how insignificant $55 mil is.

    billionaire owners that don’t do things for free, let alone a loss

    Lol. The AI bubble says otherwise.

    That ain’t no “opinion”

    Yes, it is. You’re looking at the success of a couple of games over here while completely ignoring the local sports landscape. In the UK alone football (soccer), rugby and cricket dominate. Over in Ireland its a different landscape. If you think american football stands a chance or is even comparable you are very wrong.

    Furthermore, culturally, anything seen to be or branded as ‘American’ is a hard sell right now.
