Nope the NFL is open to teams who comprise the NFL, they do not need to be American, just franchises of the NFL.

There's been rumors for quite a number of years about getting and NFL franchise in London, so...

I'm going to second Gungnir's post, but also add that you seem to "obviously" know nothing about anything. You're impossible to actually engage in debate because, well, you're an insular delinquent. What more is there to say?

And you're lucky that you're a several thousand miles away - I can see why you were driven out of the UK.

It stands for "National" easthome. The nation is the United States. It means that teams from across the nation play in an organized league. The UK has a professional football league called the "Premier League" which consists of clubs from England and Wales. There are foreign players though, just like the NFL.

Anything else of the obvious nature you need explained?

The whole nature of the NFL has a lot in common with socialism; a commissioner, revenue sharing, strict central control on rules and regulations, the draft etc.

hmmmmmm...NFL franchises in the UK? Where are you guys going to get the pounds? Just asking. They're already going for bacon buttys on Saturday and Sunday.....;-)...Advice: watch your pockets. They could get picked and your goiong to gte amd at us...again!

People here can't even go to a NFL game. They need credit cards. And I'm not sure how much an EPL game is these days but it's got to be up there. Oh initially maybe the game'll be subsided a bit but...........
