Summary
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is advocating for an 18-game NFL regular season, suggesting that all teams should play one game overseas each year. He believes this will help increase revenue and ensure long-term labor peace amidst rising viewership and interest in the league, including the significant streaming numbers of Thursday night games. Kraft emphasized that this would lead to player satisfaction and further growth in the NFL’s popularity.
Our Take
Another game, another explanation. So now we’re going to squeeze in more games, eh? Remember when 16 was the magic number? Well, hold onto your remotes because the league is aiming for 18! It’s like NFL executives think fans just don’t have enough heartburn throughout the season. They expect us to cheer on our teams in an international war of attrition. Missing tackles on the field is one thing but now we’ll be missing them in another country! And sure, the more games mean more revenue, but does anyone care if we have to watch our squad on a Tuesday morning in London? However, at least we can look forward to Kraft taking us to wherever the next disaster awaits. Hope survives another week.
