I came across a quote by NFL Commissioner - Roger Goodell - yesterday. He was once again hyping up the possibility of the NFL having a fulltime franchise outside of the US.
The American football head claimed that he is in 'no doubt' about such a prospect happening in the future.
With that said, let's look at a quote from the past.
The above image is of a headline from the Sky Sports website. It was published on 21st July 2014. Back then, Goodell claimed that London had a good chance of having its own NFL team 'within 10 years'.
It is now twelve years since that assumption was made. London still doesn't have its own NFL team. I'll be fair, though. There was a pandemic sandwiched in-between that period which might have added more time to Goodell's plan.
This sort of lip service pops up every single year, in the days leading into an International Series game. That's all it is.
Take it with a pinch punch of salt. It'll never happen.
It gets people talking.
And - as you can see here - bloggers blogging.
