An American football team in Europe

San Diego and New Orleans face off at Wembley Stadium in London this Sunday in the second regular season NFL game played oversees in Europe. If you remember, the Giants and Dolphins faced off against one another in the same place last year.

What's really impressive about this game is the fact that the NFL was able to sell a majority of the tickets for the game in the 90,000-seat stadium last year. This should turn some heads of execs that hey, we might have ourselves a market here.

While the NFL Europe folded, one could say that nobody wants to watch an American minor-league system except Americans. However, the support for the actual NFL is quite strong in Great Britain. Travel costs would stink, but with the NBA looking at overseas markets, and globalization really taking hold, we might be seeing an international league here in the foreseable future.

And yet... Seattle doesn't have a basketball team.
