People spend their time and watch stuff on the Internet. I’m sure the rest of the world is way more advanced in this department than us Americans. This is a smart move for the NFL and in particular Khan. The Cowboys and Steelers may be a major brand in America but in a few years, the Jaguars will be the biggest football brand in the world.

Think and Jalen Ramsey. He is a Jordan Brand athlete. I’m sure Jordan brand is excited to have a player playing in London every year and having prime time game (in other part of the world) being streamed. Fournette is about to be a global star after a few years. This is why players are starting to want to come here. We have something no other NFL team currently has, visibility. Their agents know it and we are slowly seeing the benefit of it.

You don't know what you are talking about if you seriously believe that.

"The rest of the world" includes many countries that are way behind America in technology industries.

Not as long as there is a team in Dallas.

Pretty sure you’re trolling but I’ll answer for others who are reading.

Tv shows and ratings are the lowest they have been and are getting lower. Unless you are of a certain age this statement wouldn’t make sense but it’s the reality. Dinosaurs are still watching tv (using cable). Everything is on the internet now. People stream stuff through internet providers. They stream music, watch YouTube, use apps etc...

This is the time we live in now. I would also say you need to broaden your concept of what is going on in other countries. The fact that you think America is this technological super power says a lot about your worldview. We are way behind many countries in terms of technology. In other areas too but that’s  another conversation. Don’t be stuck in your own reality. The rest of the world is moving and the NFL has been trying to figure out for a long time how not to get left behind. Streaming football is a major way to do that. And I can guarantee that if we hold on to being one of the few teams that go to London every year, the jaguars will have tons of global fans. The jags will eventually be a major brand world wide
