I'm just screwing with ya. You never know, perhaps I might even play

That would be a disgrace to American teams, yes. Ha!

Is it true that at NFL games, people are immediately ejected if they become too unruly?

Most stadiums I've been to have a "one warning and out" policy. You sure as hell don't see some of the European soccer behavior at NFL games...

Nope. The NFL goes to great lengths to keep it family entertainment.

Well I don't see the big problem, AFAIK there are a few British premier teams who are thinking fo having league matches abroad.

I can however understand why Aramike thinks it is unfair since for your fan in the US who would go it would cost a lot of money. On the other hand with the pound down the toilet you might get a good deal.

You need to understand - we're not just talking about a football game here. I'm quite alright with teams electing to play one or two games abroad.

What we are talking about is the Superbowl - the championship game. To me it does a disservice to fans to take the ultimate contest which THEY supported overseas. It's like saying, "hey, thanks, but your dollars have only gotten us this far. We're going to take you for granted and pursue further ducats overseas."

It's a total "F.U." to the fans who made this sport great.

Again, a game here and there, I'm quite alright with. But, THE game? Not so much...

If someone wants a family day out at a game in the UK, then follow the oval ball game. No problems with violence at Rugby Union and League games (except on the pitch).

Personally, I think we are a long way form the Superbowl in London. I am a fan, and have been to the last two Wembley games, and am going to the next one.

However the next logical step is a London-based NFL franchise, and I suspect that is closer than you think. Once that is established, then surely that team can bid for the Superbowl along with all US-based teams.

So, whilst the SB in London is not impossible, it is a good while off yet. Quite rightly, too. I wouldn't want to see the Rugby Union Premiership game played in New York just to promote the sport over there - regular season games, fine, but not the showpiece.
