I guess it is a small world after all. Smaller in some parts than others, perhaps.

Off the top of my head, I know that the NFL has Canadian, Estonian, Polish, Nigerian, Ghanese, Australian, and Pacific Islander players.

But it's still national, as in, the nation of America, and not international, despite where the players come from. The English Premier League has all nationalities playing but is still the English Premier League because the teams are English sides.

What? No they don't.

 

[GTPorsche]

Two games played in London by American teams does not make it a world game.

 

[TB]

What? No they don't.

Sure about that?

But no, that still doesn't make it an international sport.

 

[Lizard]

Sure about that?

They haven't yet then.

It will be interesting seeing the UK reaction to NFL.

 

[TB]

They haven't yet then.

They've been doing it since 2007.

 

[Lizard]

They've been doing it since 2007.

Oh damn.

I seriously have never heard it mentioned on the news or by people.

 

[Swagger897]

Wow.. the beeb has been covering it for a few years now actually... and I never did say it's an international sport, only played internationally...

Everyone watches the superbowl and that is it. And that is just an excuse to get drunk since it is evening here.

 

[FoRiZon]

The only headlines of Superbowl is its ads. Everything else, people outside USA didnt care much.

 

[Swagger897]

Discussion of America's Persistence in Kicking an Oblong Ball Through a Big "H" can go here, along with "US + Toronto Baseball League", "US + Toronto (again) Basketball Association", and "Puck-based sport with Canada + some American cities who take back lagging Canadian franchises", and the hardware locations thereof.

Six foot? You're going to have a headache if you park under there and you're more than six feet tall

After experiencing a Toronto basement that has parts of their ceiling dip lower than 5'-5", I don't even mind a 6' clearance for car parking.

 

[Ken]

At 6'3", I do mind a 6' foot clearance. Ouch.

 

[Adamgp]

I'm 5'11 so I would be fine. It would do a number on my hair though.
