I guess american football is just an american thing. Nothing quite like strapping 50 lbs of body armor on before you play. Europe, you're missing out. lol

Rumor has it that they closed the league down to help raise demand for it in Europe. No games at all over there will increase it and make the few NFL games they have a year going over there be sold out.

Also with rumor or a new league starting (UFL I believe is what its called) the NFL might start a minor league football league or something to that extent.
