Re: Overseas Redskins fans (non American born) sign in here

Every time I hear about Ranger-Celtic I always think of this documentary. Granted I knew about the rivalry before I saw it but really all I knew was that it had a reputation as possibly the most intense and dangerous rivalry in the world. Not to many specifics beyond that.


It's kind of sad. I aced an Irish History course I took on a whim in college, which I was interested in, being part Irish myself, but I'm kind of ashamed to say that I know so little about the history of Scotland. Before watching this doc I was shocked to learn that the Protestant-Catholic dynamic was even present there.

Re: Overseas Redskins fans (non American born) sign in here

Iīm against a NFL Team over here, too, for the same reasons as mentioned before. I guess youīd find more people for it in the NFL front office than here.

What Iīd like though: donīt throw all the overseas games (if you have/want to do them anyways) into London but also bring some to Germany.

I mean, honestly, there is a reason why in the last year(s) of the NFL Europe there were 5 Teams based in Germany and none in GB. And that was NOT because it was sooo damn popular in GB. Actually, when I was at the London game in 2008, there was virtually not a single person from England in a 15 meter radius around me. All Germans, Danes, Swedes or French.

And please donīt start with language barriers or harder to reach. I donīt think itīs any harder to get from the U.S. to Frankfurt or Berlin than to London. And there are enough people in the right positions in Germany whose English is sufficient for those negotiations.
