The numbers of people who stay up until stupid hours of the night to watch games. And the number of tickets sold to people filling stadiums to capacity when the NFL to others countries. The NFL sent 6 teams to play last year. A game in Ireland, England, and Germany. Plus 2 teams Mexico and Brazil each. And each game was sold out and filled stadiums.
Just like soccer is becoming a much bigger thing in the US, American football IS growing in the rest of the world. And there are some fledgling rugby amateur leagues popping up too. But we still don’t play cricket though. Baseball is better. Though I can’t prove it
The NFL make around $55 million dollars per international game. These are billionaire owners that don’t do things for free, let alone a loss. That ain’t no “opinion”.
Look, its you that insisted there was numbers. Why the fuck would I waste my time attempting to proving your point for you?

Okay, I thought we were talking bums on seats/eyeballs on screens. Not that I dont think revenue is a good metric, but if you compared that to the revenue of local football clubs you’d see how insignificant $55 mil is.

Lol. The AI bubble says otherwise.
That ain’t no “opinion”
Yes, it is. You’re looking at the success of a couple of games over here while completely ignoring the local sports landscape. In the UK alone football (soccer), rugby and cricket dominate. Over in Ireland its a different landscape. If you think american football stands a chance or is even comparable you are very wrong.
Furthermore, culturally, anything seen to be or branded as ‘American’ is a hard sell right now.
The numbers say otherwise. If it didn’t, they wouldn’t bother.
What numbers?
