Giving the fans the shaft on this one.</div>Exactly. 1) NFL Tickets in some big cities are hard enough to come by as it is, and now they're going to screw 2 teams a year out of a home game? 2) Are we going to have to do something rediculous like watch a game at 3 at night so that the NFL game starts at a normal time in Europe?3) Whoever the 'Home Team' is in Reality no longer have any Home Field Advantage.Basically, its an Inconveiance to everybody except a few international Football Fans and the Owners, and a quick scheme to make more money but piss off everybody else in the process.
To the NFL: :bigfinger: :nuttkick: :bigfinger: :nuttkick: :bigfinger: :nuttkick: :bigfinger: :nuttkick: :bigfinger: :nuttkick: :bigfinger: :nuttkick: :bigfinger: :nuttkick: :bigfinger: :nuttkick: :bigfinger: :nuttkick: :bigfinger: :nuttkick:
