[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 508710"] First, the NFL needs to establish a flag football league in Europe. American football is likely popular among European rugby fans (mostly the English) but might be too violent for the mass of sports fans who live and die by minimal-contact soccer (on the field anyway, if not in the stands ;)). If flag gets some traction there, then an NFL-sanctioned flag league could be set up here. Existing NFL franchise owners will be granted flag franchises for their TV market area. College read-option star QBs without NFL arms/mechanics could give it some cache, along with shrinking ex-NFL players forced off HGH by the new testing regimes. It would be very suitable for fantasy leagues...a lot of the pesky problems of measuring line play is mostly eliminated. As flag gains in popularity, it will move from ESPN3 to ESPN2 to ESPN with its growing mind share. It can be played year round in basketball/hockey stadiums, bumping off arena football, with which it shares some resemblance, sans pads, helmets and tackling. I'd like to say NFL Tackle, as it will be rebranded, would survive in the way boxing survives, as a niche sport, but the costs of maintaining a stadium and a competitive league are prohibitive. It will be crushed at the revenue/cost tipping point. At the current pace, this will take about 50 years. [/QUOTE]
