If you are trying to market your game in a country that plays rugby then it is not very manly to have the crash helmet and padding thing. The only thing missing is someone distributing an agenda.
how many millions to pull that move off?Ĭolumnist George Will once said that "Football combines the two worst things about America: it is violence punctuated by committee meetings." You might not be able to get rid of the mock violence but surely, you can get rid of the huddles.
What could be more exciting than watching a QB dropping back, reading the clock and.dropping to his knee as if he was about to be knighted. While you are at it why don't you reduce the scoring for something so easy - 6 goals each time someone catches the ball in an area that is close to 5,000 sq feet. Who could fail to hit an area that size? Golfers would have a harder time missing the ocean. The end zone is the equivalent to the floor area of two family homes.
It's a joke that nobody caught onto and nobody had the guts to change. Kicking a ball over a cross bar - piece of cake. Nonetheless, if you want the game to look different, it would be better to make sure that a kicker just uses his toe when kicking ridiculously easy field goals. It took the NFL 40 years to learn what an average 6 year-old soccer player has always known and that is you get more power and control by kicking with the instep. Limit kickers to toe bashing the ball like the old days Some of the statistics thrown around by NFL supporters just goes to show that if you dig deep enough in the barrel there is always something to be scrapped.Ħ. Sure and 10% might even know what NFL stands for. But the NFL has 11 million fans in the UK Why don't they just rotate around and let everyone throw the strangely shaped ball?įor most of "players" it must be like playing a round of golf without hitting a shot or playing tennis doubles and all you get to do is change ends.ĥ. Why don't they let everyone play? I think it very unfair that the fat kids who look like over-stuffed sausages only get to stand around and once in a while they push each other. Give everyone a turn to play rather than standing around as props Or looking at it another way you could take the action from 16 games and combine it all into the time it takes to televise one game.Īlternatively, you could increase the quota of action to a more acceptable 1 hour and have a telecast that lasts between 15 and 18 hours. The Wall Street Journal analyzed NFL games a couple of years ago and found that a game that takes nearly 3 hours to watch should only take 11 minutes because that is all the action you get. Because you see more beer, cars and chips than you do on-field action when you watch NFL on TV. If the NFL did not exist then surely it would have been created by an amalgam of beer, car and snack-food companies. The name needs to reflect the game so what about "Fumbleball, "Dropball," "Throwball" or just straight "Advertisingball". The London Monarchs started with crowds of 40,000 but by the time life-support was turned off the crowds had slipped to 6,000.Įven the most narrow-minded NFL fan knows that their sport is misnamed. You only have to go back a few years to NFL Europe to see how quickly the lustre fades. Nearly 17,000 attended a Star Trek convention in London that included a Klingon wedding so that puts the Wembley attendance into a more appropriate context. Hype and promote something enough and you will get people to attend once a year.
