Matter of factly … I was born French.I bet there are no better ways of getting your credibility down as a “Bleacher Reporter”.What I’d like to focus on is the tremendous issue about of Wembley’s games. I know I’m a bit off the context right now, but that will free your mind as playoffs get closer.Indeed, I want to give you another point of view on this topic.First thing, the Wembley’s games have been highly criticized by the Media and the fan base.Indeed, why would you go play that far for people that know nothing about football Uh, What is the pointOh well, some might say that the NFL needs to expend … That’s true, the NFL is a firm in danger, its profitability is getting down and people don’t trust its market value…No, I doubt that. It’s just capitalism: companies can’t get enough. Football is a highly profitable market and they just want more.Marketing wise, once you insured your stability on your local market you can think out of the box.

NFL’s “great thinkers” must have thought: “Hey, why not selling our product in Europe After all, it’s a developed continent that loves us. We saved them during World War II!”So they tried to sell us the NFL Europe. The idea was good, the feedback were not!Why it did not work Because, nobody went to see the games. Did you actually watch reviews from the NFL Europe The stadiums were half empty I actually went to the WorldBowl once. I could go through the stadium as I wanted because it wasn’t even crowded.

So they thought that match-ups of high quality would drag more people into the stadiums. That’s how the Wembley’s experiment started.They couldn’t have chosen a better location The stadium is like a god damn symbol in Europe. Better still, they have chosen the closest country to the USA in terms of culture, language, habits, etc. Indeed, in France, we’re actually not pro-Americans.Come on guys, you tried to prohibit our Roquefort and make the word “French” from “French fries” vanish, you totally deserve it!What matters, today, is that it’s a great big success. As a reminder the stadium’s capacity is about 86 000 seats and the football games are always sold out.
