Not a surprise.

Basketball and hockey are international sports.

You won’t see this happen in the NFL— at least not until London has a team.

True and I think Jacksonville’s new stadium probably kicks that can down the road a little while longer.

Don't underestimate the power of money. Or how much of it the Arabs have.

Oh. I’m not underestimating the power of money.

I just don’t think the NFL is a good global investment in comparison to other sports.

Soccer is #1, Basketball is #2, followed by Golf, Baseball, and Hockey (arguable I know— but it’s more global than football and may be a better bargain)

Football would be below them— it’s too local a sport.
