As one who has followed and played American Football in the UK, I disagree with this. The NFL hasn't entirely run the WL/NFL Europe quite as well as it should, but there is still a very interest in the game in Europe and elsewhere.
That translates to a market, one the NFL is keen to exploit. I think a good idea would be to play the PB in other countries to help spread the word. Playing pre-season games over here is OK, but too often we see a game full of wannabees competing for roster spots, with the starters on for one or two series. Playing the PB abroad means less impact on the players (their last game of the year anyway) from travel, as opposed to a pre-season game. For the fans it means you are guaranteed to see top players all game long, even if they swap in and out and you only see them for a few series.
