Maybe they are pushing other country teams because they already know about a safe form of faster travel that's being developed.

That's not a stretch to believe at this point in history

in regards to the upper comment: why would believing one thing or knowing something mean you lump it with other theories? Everything g is unto itself.

But the above link proves I am right in this instance

You again?

You're initial supposition was that some new, hidden travel technology is driving NFL international expansion. Not only is this beyond absurd (hint: It's about the money, current travel technology is already sufficient), even your linked article doesn't support it. I assume you read the whole thing, right? They patented a design for a 20 person supersonic jet... 20 person. Let that sink in. There's 48 players active on game day. There's 27 coaches and support staff listed on Jaguars.com that would travel as well. You'd need 4 separate planes, or one plane to make 4 trips for the bare minimum of people that would need to travel. This isn't a feasible mode of transportation for anyone in the league but NFL owners and their guests for the foreseeable future. I'm sure supersonic 100+ passenger transatlantic planes will the norm one day, but your supposition was that this is right around the corner and that it is or could be driving NFL international expansion... If that's the case, why didn't the NFL expand overseas when the Concorde was still in service?

The second to last line in the article is interesting as well: "As with most patented ideas, it's unlikely the jet will ever enter production."
But this is the proof right?

You could have easily clarified your original statement instead of pretending you didn't say it. Just admit you have no idea about economics or business and lets move on. I mean, this really isn't hard to understand.
