Thursday night. 8.25PM. Football. Except it's not in the places American Football is trying to expand. In London for example, it'd be 1:25AM Friday morning. Now, the problem is that usually Thursday night/Sunday, Monday night showcases the best the NFL has to offer and so Europeans don't get to see it, unless they want to sleep at work.


Now, I'm not suggesting changing the times and Sunday/Monday night football should stay the same but would it not be good to move the Thursday night game to Friday instead? I mean, if possible, I don't know if there are special broadcasting rights but it makes sense to me. This would allow more Westerners to enjoy the NFL since staying up late on a Friday isn't an issue for most and would help with expansion. Plus, surely it'd also be good for Americans who don't have to worry about work/school and just relax


The only thing I can think stopping it being broadcast on a Friday is because of broadcasting clashes with popular TV programmes that usually air new episodes on a Friday but that's it.


Oh, it'd be good for me to and, considering my importance, I find it disrespectful it hasn't been changed yet. Boooo.


If you know an actual answer I'll be intrigued to know.
