Why go overseas when we could put teams in LA, Vegas, and Portland?

You're kidding right?
You are assuming folks in the West are like yourself.
People in the West do not foam at the mouth for football like they do where you live.
They tried LA several times...yeah, you can do it again....Las Vegas?
That 115 degrees man!
Portland is possible I guess.

Their real push is to get on international television...getting on telemundo or something would be huge...I can see them going into Canada or Mexico City or something...the problem with Mexico is the language barrier...how do you hold press conferences in a different language?...what free agent wants to live in another country?...I dont know.
The most I see them ever doing is having each team play a single game abroad yearly...I really dont see any NFL teams outside of the US...unless its in Canada and thats a big "if"

Exactly my argument earlier.. I think that we have more deserving American markets.. but what I was saying in that reply was the chance of if we played a game in another country.. someone mentioned maybe South America

as far as LA, I know that they want that market, but how many times can you try that experiment? Vegas and Portland would probably have to be in domes due to weather. Vegas seems like it would be more of a dome city as it is anyways
