Also the progressive pandering to the flavor of the month. Don't Disney the NFL. It has a lane..stay in it. Get off my lawn! :-)

Teams want the money from selling branded merch to new markets. The Wilfs told the NFL they wanted more international games, no doubt for just that reason.

Much more palatable if they keep their home games. It will feel like home games for Minnesota in Dublin and London.

From what I’ve heard over the past couple weeks, it appears likely the #Vikings will play back-to-back international games this fall.

They have road games against the Steelers and Browns this year; the Steelers host in Dublin and the Browns are in London. It would be the Vikings’ fifth trip to London, and third in four years.

They would keep all eight home games at U.S. Bank Stadium this year.

I guess if you're going to stab a team in the heart with not just two overseas games, but back to back overseas games, the least you could do is make both of those games road games, so essentially, we'll keep all our home games and we have two road games taken out of the opponent's stadiums and placed in neutral sites.

London is becoming Minneapolis East. Vikings are already very popular there.

Maybe taking two overseas games gets us another Super Bowl at the Bank. Or the draft.

I'll give this the same weight I give them when they say Jordan Love is a great NFL QB and being drunk all day every day is good for you.
