If the NFL were to put a team in Toronto, would there be a revolt amongst purist NFL fans?

Question

...a revolt amongst those NFL fans who wouldn't want any non-US teams in the league?

Answer 1

No,the same question was asked a long time ago about major league baseball,and there has been baseball teams in Canada,as long as they don't start changing to Canadian football rules,most players will be US college players anyway,the only part Canada will have is to pay them in Canadian money

Answer 2

No.

Answer 3

No a revolt would not happen.  Purist NFL fans loves the game, and if a team is playing for Toronto,  Americans will welcome them.  globalization is a positive thing now a days, so it's just a matter of time before a non U.S. team joins the NFL.

Answer 4

No. Football is football. MLB came to Canada and won multiple World Series. The NHL has won all over the National Hockey League. It would be okay.

Answer 5

Not at all....I know of many NFL fans in Canada, and I think it would be great for the league to do that.

The only people who will revolt will be the players who have to make that trip for an away game!  Imagine being a West Coast team who has to go to the East Coast and then to Toronto the next week....it would happen and it would suck.

Answer 6

nope

Answer 7

Not at all..it would be cool to have an across the border rivalry..

Answer 8

I am sure there would be.NASCAR fans are mad when they hold a race in Mexico.Baseball fans do not like the season opener in Japan.The NFL has such a strong product they would be able to ride it out if they ever did make this type of decision.I don't see it in the near futrue

Answer 9

Relocation is a fact of life in pro sports. NFL fans would get over it by the second preseason game.
