Any of you rugby fans in London watching the NY Giants vs Miami Dolphins american football game?

Question

just curious if any of you are watching! the NFL has been playing games internationally... with our own players in other countries. Its a weird concept, but i guess its meant as a way to intoduce american football internationally. this year the game is in Wembley stadium in London. Last year they played in Mexico. what are your thoughts? Will this sort of exhibition match help the world see american football more positively?

Answer 1

The Dolphins suck and the Giants are overrated.  If London wanted a good game they should have asked for the Patriots Colts game next week.

Answer 2

I don't think the game will do much. Its a good atmosphere being at a football game. But i really dont think it will be a hit internationally. There are too many ignorant people out there that wont give it a chance just like people here in the us dont give rugby and AFL a chance. Plus i think for it to be appreciated overseas it has to be played. Its an american sport. Invented more or less in America.  I also think the teams were a bad choice. They should have picked teams with a great football history. Teams like the Packers or Bears. Teams that just have a rugged persona about them. Dont get me wrong i think both the Phins and Giants have good history but I think we should have sent more ruggedly historical teams there. I think the Packers bears would have been a good one. Sending an icon like Brett Favre over there.
